It could look really good if done properly and not cheaply

no need for plastic primer as they are alloy. just rub them down prime......paint and clear.

I think the silver and grey cars pull it off well and look good, But my saturn blue 316 would look shocking

I think the colour coding looks spot on, just gives it that cleaner look imo

I say yeah, especially on that cab because it cleans it up and modernises it (in a good way!) but then the black roof breaks it up just right.
Too much colour coding ruins a car, grill, rub-strips, wheels, bumper inserts..... any of these except for the grill can look good depending on the look you're going for, just don't go over the top.
DONT CODE THE GRILL!
