The guy probably had an old tire machine that makes contact with the outside of the wheel or didn't have the plastic sleeves that are required to dismount alloy wheels. The new tire machines now-a-days don't even touch the outside of the wheels.
There are special wheel paints out there that will work. I can't recall any specifics about brands, though. They might even be available in aerosol cans. Make sure that the entire surface to be sprayed is sanded as this will help the adhersion of the new paint.
