Curb Rash Repair...Polished Clearcoated Lip

Just had some curb rash repaired on my E430 4matic (the previous owner was not good at paralell parking) and the local "Silver King" franchise did a good job in about an hour. 2 wheels for $100. I was somewhat disappointed that he could not repair the wheel while preserving the polished clear coated lip. The whole thing is now silver paint. Bummer, even though it looks clean, I miss that extra gleam around the edge. I need to find some one who can machine the rim, clearcoat it, and return the factory look. Are my requests reasonable, and whom should I seek? PS... the picture shows the less damaged of the 2 wheels before.
