Default C5 OEM wheels clearcoated?

I bought a set of OEM C5's the other day and noticed some pitted areas on the inside portion of the rim. I sanded a couple of the spots with 400 grit and it was noticeable brigther than the rest of the rim. Does that mean that it is clearcoated? I believe to get it looking good I will have to sand the entire inside portion of the rim. If I do that just go with 400, 800 and then 1000 grit and polish it right?

Many people use cans of airplane paint stripper. Eat away the clear and polish the wheels.
They have write ups under speedlines
