Love the OD green! Very utilitarian, I would black out all the lights except the headlights with a light coat of flat niteshade, the open those headlights and paint the housings that OD green, then maybe even some military style bumper numbers.

this. ^

it comes out flat. just spray 12-18 inches from it and do light coats. that's basically exactly how i did mine and they turned out flat, which was the opposite of what i wanted.
