I use a guy who restores interiors, leather, vinyl, cloth, etc... easy fix, in your case. he'd just spray it with special dye to match and be done in 5 minutes. I am sure you can find such service in your area. in fact, this guy is used by most luxury car dealers in my area. I was recommended to him by a Lexus dealer. you might try the same.

They will probably end up painting over it. I have seen a restorer in action for a used car lot. They paint the sucker. As they paint the rims to cover up scratches, curb rash and faded paint.

They do wonders.
