There's a couple of military themed and inspired SVs on SV Rider, I'll see if I can find pics, hang on...

I love Canyonchaser's bike, it's a bit too clean/tidy for the jeep theme though... If I was him I'd have shot the bike with a silver first, then applied the green, and then sanded through the green on the exposed edges to give the impression of metal showing through worn paint- nice trick I've seen used on some bugs. And maybe matted the paint, too. But still, it's ace:

Ah, there's a Mustang-based silver one, which I can't find, and a nice "shark mouth" pointy in blue.
