Yup, mine where only slightly scratched so was able to wet and dry the scratches out, primer and spray, rubed the rest of the alloy down then used a small buffer to buff the paint back up again, was a good job too

I've just done mine and painted them in a slight silver glitter efferct. (cost nothing cause I robbed it from work) It's a lot easier than you think. Mine were really bad, but now you cant tell. Just really sand the edges in, if they are kerbed, then flat all the other scratches in and, if needed, use a bit of filler, prime, flat, paint. Jobs a good un.
