Ed, I'm also not fond of the idea of looking like some 'soldier of fortune' subscriber (no offense you's out there

). But if you're going for Elios then they have some camo designs that don't resemble army camo
too much.
Quite a few people told me that camo works. Some might be just self-convincing themselves, but some seemed to me pretty reliable.
You can try asking for more black and less paint, I think they can do any kind of paint job.
Post pictures if you opt for camo.
