Use a combination of a circular segment cardboard cut-out and newspaper. The cardboard cut-out alone is not enough to prevent the mist from getting on the unprotected areas of the tire's sidewall. There is not a paint existing that gets all over everything more than aluminum paint. Got the mug to prove it. The side walls can be covered rather quickly with newspaper as you are not tediously shaping it to the rim's arc. The cardboard can be shaped by laying it on the rim edge, lightly tapping the cardboard with a hammer to leave an arc track, then cutting the cardboard to the track. Try not to use the common corrugated box cardboard. You want something thin enough that will slip down between the rim edge and tire totally covering the sidewall at this junction. Tire mfrs. strongly suggest avoiding any application of petroleum products on tires as they tend to degrade the rubber. I have seen excellent jobs done with a foam brush if you would rather not spray. Aluminum paint is very fluid and brushes out nicely.
