It is a nice, cheap solution though if you are wanting to see how black would look on the wheels before painting them.
You have to use a lot of layers of glossifier and wait until each dries completely. And you'll get more bling if you couple the mettalizer over gold or anthracite after putting down a matte finish first. So it's like a many steps process, but pretty cool for a spray can.
