When I painted my 84 in charcoal hammerite it didnt look very good at all when I first started.  It eas just a normal charcoal color.  Then I wasnt paying very close attention when I painted a fiew strokes and it hammered right before my eyes.  It took me a moment to realize what I had done.  I had painted it so thick it was almost to the point of running.  So I repainted the parts I had alread done and it looked great!  It is very tricky to get the effect to come out even but it can be done.
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

A trick I found out with the hammer paint was to use a black primer with the supposedly black hammer paint.  The hammer black paint actually looks more like a dark charcoal grey.  First,  I sprayed the primer, let it dry,  then sprayed a coat of the hammer rustoleum paint.  Doing so gave me a nice effect thus avoiding any thick and running spots.  Trying to get good coverage with the hammer paint alone ends up to thick and runny.  My best advice is experiment.
