Default Need some sanding help

So about a month and a half ago I had a dumb moment and got too close to a curb with my perfect condition black saleen wheels. Well, they're not perfect anymore. I finally got around to attempting to fix them tonight and I do say that I didn't do too bad of a job. Used a dremel tool with a sanding stone to smooth out all the curb rash and then used some black touch up paint. Now, since it's not exactly smooth and it will probably stick out like a sore thumb in the light, what are some pointers you guys have and what grit sandpaper could I use to try to smooth everything out? Just wondering because I don't have the slightest idea when it comes to sanding. Thanks.

The thing with sanding, you're going to want to start with a mildly abrasive grit, and work your way up to a really high-count grit. I'm no expert myself, and it's kind of hard to gauge what you're going to need without seeing it in person.
