I'm gonna have a go in a few weeks. Not sure how it's really done but i'm assuming you just sand them down so they are smooth and then spray them.

use the alloy touch up paint from www.frost.co.uk. It's quite good. Just clean the wheel, slighty sand the scratch with yer mums/sis/nans emory boards then spray some paint into an old lynx lid and use a small fine brush to touch up.
