I don't think that's right, but I can't offer any solutions at the moment.

One trick I read years ago in "Road & Track" or somewhere was to get the
rim completely prepped and primed inside and out. Finish coat the inside,
and by that I mean where the tire seats and the air hopefully remains.
Then, have the tire mounted but don't let them seat the beads. After
that, mask the tire (easy enough at this point) and paint the inside and
outside faces of the rim. Then you have the beads seated, the assembly
balanced, and you're all set.
One option, anyway....
