the clear coat will give it a gloss finish. if you dont want that look then do not use the clear coat. i would just lightly sand the first layer of primer and respray. then hit them with the color you wish.

Re: Steps to painting rims
I just used Dupont paint that I got from Wal-Mart. It's the flat black finish and I put 4 coats on it. I put 2 coats of primer and I scratched it up really good. The key is prepping or the paint wont stick. These wheels are about to go through their 4th NOVA winter and the only reason they have chips is when the tires get replaced.
