anyone successfully spray touch-up the rim/lip of mag wheels without painting the whole wheel. do they have clearcoat on them? thanks.
 
Yes they are clear coated.

I know some people have had their C4 wheels stripped, repaired then buffed/polished. They left the clear coat off the wheels and kept them looking good with some buff & polish TLC.

You can get a touch up paint from Chevrolet parts dept.
 
If it's just the outside lip of the rim (those nasty curbs)... you can get some touch-up paint mixed and carefully paint by hand. A magnifying glass helps to be accurate. Your clear coat is gone where the wheel was worn.

Good luck!

I had a auto paint store mix up some paint to match and had it put in their spray cans. After light sanding, paint, and then recoated the area with a auto clear you can not tell there was damage. I cant see where I made the repair anymore!
