Try calling MK paints in Milton Keynes, very very good at matching paint. Use a flick can, mask off. Lightly lightly blow over affected area. Wait to dry light wet sand back to flat it in.

I'd save your cash and leave em. The kerb marks look pretty minor to me and what if you get em done and do it again - you'll be paying double bubble.

You can do blow in's on wheels but they main issue is colour matching, would look crap If 1/3rd of the wheel was wrong shade, I would leave them as they are for the moment. Like its been said it may happen again.
