Subject: What paints should I use?

So for a few days now, I've been tossing and turning ideas for a paint scheme for my Guard army. I've only ever used a basic colour scheme. Now I've decided to move up, and I've been trying to replicate something like this:
The jackets is the thing that's got me stumped.  I'd love to replicate a paint job like it, but I don't know where to start.
Any opinions on what paint(s) I should try out?

Vallejo Model Color should have the shades you want for realistic military uniforming. They also make a WWII specific paint line that may work well.

Yeah, some of the DKOK work I've seen in the Gallery are very similar to this scheme (and I love their work). I was leaning towards something less...green than what I was seeing? I do like me grey jackets. 
But like said, I have no idea where to start. :(
aerethan: Thanks! I'll check out their paint ranges.

Definately try out the Vallejo line. Look at Dark Blue-Grey and Basalt Grey

Thanks for the reply! I'd imagine that the dark blue-grey would be applied to the model first, and the basalt grey used for highlights?

I was just wondering, do you guys know of any Citadel paints that would substitute the Vallejo Basalt Grey and Dark Blue-Grey?
