Duplicolor Rim Paint (graphite) is a Pain
Is it just one can you're having an issue with? That's what I used to paint the entire grille on my car. The metallic flakes do get everywhere, but you shouldn't have an issue with a wet coat. I used it on my wheel centers too, although I used a lighter silver for that. The graphite will be darker than OE for the rallye centers, that's actually why I used it for my grille, give it a different look.
Anyway, if it's just the one can it may just be a flaw with the nozzle, I'd try a different one and see if that helps. I can't remember which "style" the nozzle was on mine, round or fan. I may have changed it out if it was a round, the "fan" style works better for larger areas like the grille.
