Replacing clips with graded ones

For some reason I decided to try editing an entire music video first before coloring (Usually I color all clips in lightroom and export those into premiere) I have so many cuts that it would take ages to color each individual clip. Is there a way for me to color all the clips in lightroom and replace those with the raw footage in premiere? Any help would be great
 
Don't know how well this will fit into your workflow, but I've been in a similar situation with wanting to denoise video footage after completing a complex multi-camera edit. I took the original media into After Effects, ran the Denoiser plugin, and exported the new, clean clip (identical length to original, this is critical). In Premiere, right-click clip you want to replace in the Bin and "Unlink", then "Link Media" and select the NEW clip and that will replace the original media in the timeline, keeping all edits and applied effects/transitions intact. Would recommend doing a "Save As..." in Premiere to create a COPY of your project before proceeding, so as not to mess up original in case of any issues.

In my case, it's usually one long clip (wedding ceremony), but after all editing and color correction was done and mixed with second camera. New clip plugs in seamlessly!

On your media bin, you can right-click and replace-footage. Not sure if there's a fast method that will do it for all your clips at once.
 
I can recommend using adjustment layers in premiere to grade your footage. It won't let you grade with lightroom as far as I know, but it can be a great option if you don't want to choose exactly when (in your workflow) you want to grade.

I usually add an adjustment layer to the whole sequence and apply some basic grading with whatever effect you like. I then go through the sequence cutting up the adjustment layer to fit the individual clips or sections that you need to differentiate your grade upon. It also works like a charm together with speedgrade.

The only faster method is tricking Premiere by moving your non-graded files out of the folder they were in and then placing your newly graded files in that folder. Of course in reality you don't have to move + copy anything, you just rename the old folder to something and then rename the folder with the grade clips to have the same name as the non-graded clip folder.

So many ways to skin a cat.
