Fixable? Scratches on door and gouges in 19s

[Bronx Cheer]

I had a wheel lock problem, with my wheel bolts being crazy over tightened by air gun. When I went to have my 18" winters put on and 19" summers taken off, a dealer completely stripped my OEM wheel lock key. In the process of getting the lock bolts removed by ANOTHER dealer (the first refused to do it), I got three scratches on a door, and a two fingernail clipping size gouges on one of the OEM 19s. (Can't complain to the 2nd dealer, they gave the standard warning before attempting anything that having to extract the bolts could cause "minor" cosmetic damage).

Can the 19s be fixed since they are forged and not the standard painted alloys that I have had in the past? How? How much?

Regarding the paint scratches, they show up faint white on my Space Grey, but do not feel deep. Looks like a white dogs hair is laying on the surface and is pretty evident when the light catches it. Can it be fixed? How? Just try buffing first? A clear coat filler, then buff?

Also, referrals in the NoVA / DC area for places to get these done would be appreciated.

If the paint scratch doesn't 'catch' your fingernail its usually fixable.

Thanks for the links.

Regarding paint scratches being fixable, do you mean a simple buff out?

With a polisher / foam pad/ abrasive polish/ or wet-sanding/ and the proper experience-YES
