A different idea perhaps: Use cheap automotive camo spray paint. You can get it at auto supply stores, hadware stores.. It comes in different browns, blacks and rust colors. Olive green or course isn't the right choice. In my experience one can of paint does a lot of track. You can paint the track before laying it, say in your garage to avoid the fumes, to avoid overspray on buildings or scenery, to allow you to wa***he track before painting (I use automatic diswasher detergent ), to allow you to spray the rails from the sides a rusty color, while painting the ties from the above with a different brown/black color. I do recommend using at least two colors just for some variation. And you might want solder feeders to the track before you paint it, to avoid having to remove paint then retouch the rails. You can also paint track this way when it's already been laid and wired, providing you don't have any scenery in place and you can provide good ventilation..
