It seems like you could do it almost like a Woodland MARPAT with a highly thinned buff overspray....

If you look around in the figure Features area, Pete (Epi) as well as another member (sorry for not remembering your name ) have both done articles on painting MARPAT. Those might help you out.

Painting Desert USMC MARPAT

This may help you in painting the pattern. Let us know how they turn out because I'd like to know the colors too.
