Default touch up for wheels

anybody know how to touch up scratched wheels for stock 03 A4? i know there are places that buff them out, but im selling the car and just want to mask the damage a bit. its not that severe, 'bout the size of a nickel on 2 wheels. would sanding with ultra fine grit paper be a bad idea?

ive heard that sanding and some spray paint ususally does the trick. but usually scratches on wheels will not be a issue with someone buying a used car. if you want to give them the re-assurance i reccomend going to a tire shop and getting them balanced to show that there arent unbalances or bends in the wheel.
