I am thinking of fixing a minor curb rash in one of the front wheels. Is there any specific KIT you can recommend? I saw a few in ebay and Amazon...

And also please suggest the matching paint (recommendation for our wheels), I heard that the paint come with these kits does not match our rims.

Kit? I never heard of this and wouldn't suggest it. Get some epoxy or bondo and some paint. I think I've used GM silver metallic and it matched up but really you still have to clearcoat the entire wheel so I wouldnt worry about fixing it. It's going to get ruined again.

Hey bro, honestly, it's going to happen again and again ....and again and again lol.
If the paint matches up I'd be pretty surprised. It depends on your wheel.
You could try this type of thing. Make sure you can match the paint. I mean it's not bad deal if paint matches ok and gives you all the paint, tape, epoxy, and sandpaper.
