Yeah I don’t even know where it came from. The tire wasn’t even scuffed. I knew it was a risk with these rims… the profile of the 22” gmc rim and tire sidewall is such that this was bound to happen. Never scuffed a rim in my 20+ years of driving.

Curb heights vary, so there's no safe sidewall height regardless. The only thing that might save grace is having a wide tire on a narrow rim. At least the curb will hit the tire before the rim. But even then, you run the risk of blowing out the tire... either way, you can't win.

I bought giant black Sharpies on Amazon. For my Corvette black wheels. Worked great.

The best result would be a wheel repair shop. They will match it to the paint code and sand/prime it.
All the other suggestions on here would make it look better buts it’s not going to be “good” repair meaning people can tell if they looked at your wheel.

Automotive black touch up paint.

Gloss black nail polish is more "permanent" and won't come off so easily in most terrain or weather conditions - but it does require touch ups every 6 months under normal driving conditions. I'm still using my first nail polish bottle from 2 years ago.

Agreed but given the somewhat limited scuff, I think that would be overkill for my situation.

The one and only reason I would redo the powder coat is if there was enough significant damage to the rim itself that it needed straightening. After fixing the rim, only then would I powder coat it again.
