It took me a few days to get used to the tight turning radius of my Model 3 - and I scratched my rims on curbs during that time. Can anyone recommend a home repair kit I can use to fix the scratches? I have the standard wheels and I removed the plastic covers, so I have the dark grey rims that are underneath. Thanks.

Not that that would ever happen to me but this worked great. Color wise.

It's pretty spot on. Lesson learned: Letting others test drive your Model 3 puts its rims at risk ....
Probably best - some very light sandpaper (600grit? maybe then 1000 grit?) just to smooth it out a bit, then touch it up with the pen. It's pretty easy, to be hones... and even an imperfect job will look fine from 6" away.
Unrelated but.... i feel like the Model 3 has a terrible turning radius. In my apartment's tight underground parking garage it is a PIA to get out of my spot but with random other rental cars it was pretty easy.
Also , why is there not a great color match for 19" wheels? I only ever see recommendations for the aero wheels

Ahh that’s why I’ve never seen any other curbed 19” or pothole-dented 20”Because if you upgrade to them, you should stay off the curbs? Just a thought
