A cosmetic repair on one wheel is often same-day. A full strip and refinish on a set takes days, because the paint or powder has to cure properly and rushing that is why finishes peel. Ask whether they have loaner wheels, and whether the price includes remounting and balancing your tires.
For light scuffing on the lip, yes, and that is what most mobile repairers do. They sand the damage, fill it, mask the tire and spray the repaired area. It looks good and it is a local repair, not a refinish, so expect the mended patch to weather differently over a few years. Deeper gouges need the tire off.
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to make an older car look cared for. Gloss black, gunmetal and bronze are the usual requests. Bear in mind that a solid color hides brake dust less well than you hope, and that going dark makes any future curb scuff easier to touch up than a machined face would be.
