The camo texture needs to be completely redone. Aside from that, your plain metallic texture looks pretty good!

The camo ones are literally just an overlay on the non-camo ones.
And the non-camo ones are rubbish :S

Camo is a very tricky effect to get right. It is easy enough to create, but if you want it to look good, it takes a significant amount of time.
I would say the best way to do the camo (or the way I do it anyway) is to do your main texture, convert it to grey scale, then play with the channels so you have say a mustard coloured one and the reddish one in addition to the greyscale one.(just an example)
Lay the red and yellow one over each other, then bust out the eraser tool to erase parts of one colour so the other one shows up from behind to get your camo pattern going. Once that is done, merge them as one layer and overlay on your greyscale texture.
Use your fine eraser on the overlayed coloured pattern to make any scratches, worn edges and anywhere else the camo paint job would be worn. Also, use varying opacities of the brush so that the texture doesnt look so one-dimensional. One this is finished, combine your layers, and work on emphasizing your heavy edges, dirt marks, hard lines etc.
You should end up with something quite nice.
