Default Painted Rims Dilemna

I painted my Bullit 17" stock rims all black and over about a six month period got scratches and kinks in the rims from hitting curbs and all that... i dont want to repaint the rims b/c it took 6-7 hours of backbreaking work.. is there touch up paint or does anyone have an opinion of what to do to fix these minor scratches...

i dont see why you couldnt just touch up where they are rashed. no reason to have to re paint all of the wheels for curb rash
