Default How much does it cost to repair curb rashes on wheels?

I'm looking at a used IS350 now and two of the wheels have curb rashes along the edge for about 25% of the perimeter of the wheels. I wouldn't mind it usually but I want to get the wheels painted a shade darker in gunmetal so I'd image they need the whole wheel as smooth as possible.

whats' the process like? do they sand it down until it's smooth? no matter what, the wheel will be losing metal right?
