Hammertone or similar paint experiences?

Has anyone painted a frame with hammertone or similar effect paint, what did you use, how did it turn out?

I read that hammertone works because of two incompatible solvents, which form the random cell structure as they dry at slightly different rates.

They also like to be applied on flat level surfaces, which bicycles aren't, and in thick coats, probably runny on a frame tube.

What I'm after is a metallic undercoat with some sort of pebbled or grainy look to it, not sparkly, over which will go a transparent colour coat.
