Here's some you can try:  http://www.aervoe.com/paints_coatings/Military-Digital-Pattern-Camo-Paint-1074.html

I think the color typically is called 'Military Olive Drab' for reference

Nice one Moondawg.

Army:

I would try automotive paint supply in your local area. Usually the have a paint index, or book in the store.  You might be able to simply just find a few colors that would work for your project.

Congrats to your brother! Please thank him for his service and choosing to serve our country!

I would look into a vinyl wrap in the new ACU (digital camo) pattern. Anything else may appear dated. They use the ACU wrap on the vehicles used by the recruiters.
