I think its cool that you can do this for peanuts. I think you might need the glossifier too though. I ended up with rough texture when I applied the metalizer over the anthracite grey for my fixed gear track bike.
My Carrera five spokes have a similar scheme but it was done with actual permanent paint. First coat of matte black and then a special gun metal color over that. The end result is like 550 anniversary wheels but with a deep metallic finish.
Except it cost way more than two cans of paint. Plasti dip is awesome for track wheels. If you end up off course, just peel off and paint again.
That special solution DipYourWheels sells sounds good too, you can redo just a section by using the solution to thin the paint down instead of having to pull off the whole layer.
