Scratched my callisto wheel - the paint anyway...ugh!!!

Yeah, yeah, its just a car,,,**** happens, etc. but seriously I feel sick...
Parked to the rear of a parking lot, pulled out and barely touched the rear wheel edge to the curb. I tweaked, got it home and it looks like its actually just the paint on the wheel. That being said its like the paint is some kind of almost hard plastic coating on these wheels...like its not just some coat of spraypaint or something.
I'm really hoping it can be repaired and im now not ordering a new rim...cause as perfect as i am trying to keep this car, I am not sure i can deal with even a little rash like that. Sucks.
Anyone have any experience with these wheels? as in repairs or what the heck kind of coating/paint is on them?
TIA

I can grab a pic if necessary, but it seriously looks like no actual metal, but whatever coating on these things is THICK.

Awesome. You figure a solid wheel repair place knows what that stuff is and can make it better? or should I hit up the dealer for some love?
