The factory paint scheme on the vehicle is a set of seemingly randomly emplaced and sized overlapping rectangles which are near, but noticeably not, the same colour: that's the design.
If you get a dent, scratch or rust spot, there's no need to get the entire panel or vehicle painted, just do the
repair, apply a rectangle of colour (either matching the outline of an existing rectangle or adding a new one) and apply clearcoat.

This isn't meant to be camouflage: it's just a pattern of overlapping rectangles of various sizes within a certain colour range. Not pixels or even pixel-sized. |
|
| |
But yes if you had it in grey rectangles of various shades you could probably hide in a parking lot. . . |
|

The colours should be quite different, to be sure people know you mean it. Given that, you could probably also permit random-shaped patches. |
|
| |
To make this suitable for larger businesses, the colour shades should be specified. In keeping with the idea, this could probably be more approximate than is usually the case. |

21 Quest - I didn't realise that it was current practice the military to patch and return/pass on damaged clothing. I know that during WWII hand-me-downs like that occurred - soldiers were issued clothing with sewn-up bullet-holes in. I assumed that didn't happen any more as it would be bad for morale. |

a camouflage is a type of hat that goths wear at ladies day at wimbledon (tennis) every fifth year - its pretty much a secret though so don't tell anyone. |

//Clothing? Camouflage is a pattern, not a garment.// |

That's true, and you could have been talking about camouflaged vehicles I suppose.
I'm not an expert on the army and warfare like you, but I don't think that cheap repair is the reason for camouflage on military stuff though. |

There is a certain amount of circumstancial evidence that may tend to indicate that you are not entirely incorrect. |

Basically a more subtle take on the Partridge Family Bus? |

Ah thanks, I was wondering where I got the picture in my head of a "clown car" paint scheme... yup, except the PF's bus included some long lines as part of the design, which don't fit the "paint'n'go" paradigm as easily. |
