Here's what I sent to the couple of PMs I got asking similar questions...
I ordered these from Amazon:
Dupli-Color BFM0360 Dark Shadow Gray Ford Exact-Match Automotive Paint - 8 oz. Aerosol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00407TU5U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4DxwDbP62JVFE

From there I started off using a 1/4 piece of one of the 240 grit pieces of sandpaper and spent about 5 minutes sanding off all the jagged edges of the curb rash. (Side note for your question: Pressure was about what you'd use with a scrubby sponge to get some stuck on food off a plate for all the sandpaper sheets, regardless of grit.)
Next I tore off a similar sized piece of 400 grit sandpaper and spent another 5 minutes sanding it down further to smooth out some of the larger damaged area into smaller issues.
Repeat another 5 minutes with 600 grit. Then 5 minutes with 1000, and finally 5 minutes with 1500.
Once you are done the damaged area should be shiny bare metal that should feel smooth to a light touch with your finger. (And leveling out the area is not really a problem. As bad as curb rash looks, it's mostly just jagged metal sticking up that gets sanded off. It's really not that deep that you end up with valleys and craters once you are done sanding. Technically, yes, the rim is "thinner" where you sanded, but it's a fraction of a millimeter so, and not really visible to the eye unless you get down real close and look for it.)
Next I cleaned it all off using nothing more than some Windex and a soft rag.
I then used a new small piece of 600 grit and lightly went over the whole area to make some tiny rough areas to help the paint stick to the metal better, and wiped clean the dust.
I then taped the tire and undamaged area of the rim to keep the paint off those parts, and sprayed on the paint using the instructions on the can. (Three light coats 10 minutes apart)
That's pretty much it. Someone else mentioned clear coat but I didn't use it. I though the result I got was pretty dead-on and didn't want to risk a clear coat make it look off or too shiny, then have to do the rest of the wheel to make it uniform - which would have made me then have to do the other three tires in clear coat to make them match as well. But if I down the road I change my mind, adding clear coat is as easy as the painting.
Anyway, it's time and labor intensive, but it's easy. Good luck!
