Rim Painting

Are there any experts out there that know if when painting rims professionally if there is a different paint and clear coat that is needed due to the temperature of the brakes being so near and the temperature they get?

I am looking to have my rims painted by a friend that used to do touch painting for car dealerships but he has not been doing it for a while. I have seen his work so i am comfortable with how he paints but he and I would just like to know what paint we should get. We are planning on using regular PPG pigment and clear unless anyone has any other recommendations.

thanks for your help,

RK
