    Starfish are aluminum. Most reputable wheel shops can repair it. Cost is a couple hundred, tops.

    Yes...you really can buff it out and repaint it.

    Sorry I can't help with a local shop but while they have the wheel(s) off you may as well repaint the calipers.

    The list goes on and on.

    Did I mention the front bumper? (Probably scraped underneath)

    How about the rocker panels??

    A mobile wheel repair service is the way to go. Should be around $150.

    Call the local Ferrari dealer and ask who they use. In my area we have a guy who goes around the dealerships (or to your house) and repairs these. I have a couple of small scrapes that I was told would cost around $75. Fortunately he lives about three miles from me.

    Preston- They are aluminum and the paint color is Argento Metallic, PPG Code 36520. My last curb scrape repair was $125 from a mobile service at my techs' shop.

    I've been quoted $120 per wheel to repair an accident such as this. Good luck.

    The most expensive and deserved repair here would be to take the family to dinner.
