It appears that after the base coat, he lightly sprayed the edges and heaverier towards the center.

itll be black on the outside, then blue, then siver.
2 tone fair enough, 3 tone might be difficult.

Try it on a piece of aluminum foil or something similar to try and get a feel for it before you do it on the bow.

Yikes!
Check around on ebay or someplace, you can usually find deals on small lots of powder cheap, it'll get you something you can play with that would not cost an arm and a leg.
