Paint or not to Pain?

Well my truck is mostly blue and a silverish color, with a mix of green. Its all chipping off. Though I'm kinda stuck on three options.
1.Camo
2.White
3.Leave it alone

Im not too sure how much it would cost to get it professionally painted white. Nothing fancy. Or try to do a camo thing. Though Id want it to look like the military style truck green. That flat color they have.
If anyone knows how they paint their trucks that specfic tone please let me know.

As for the paint that the military uses, its basically tinted primer....they dont care if it lasts to long. But you can get flat paints either from the automotive paint supply stores, or go to Home Depot and buy rattle cans off the shelf. Thats what alot of other guys do, I think even Wally Mart has a camo line of paint.
It would be cheaper if you painted it camo with rattle can paint than if you had it professionally painted white. Just be sure to sand the existing paint and prep it right.
