Default Paint color, or mods?

So I have a bit of a conundrum with my 06' Street Bob gents; trying decide between paint, and parts. For paint (powdercoat); I'm torn between denim black and flat OD green. For parts, I'm simply thinking for around the same price of a paint job I could hold out and do cams and a tune. Advice, and does anyone have pics of either colors? Any input will help

You will notice in this forum that many people can not decide without a group hug. Many bikes are denim so it is easy to see one. If you spent time in the military then you know OD is not an attention getter. Go for parts.

The thing is, I'm starting to like the gloss black, I think just blacking out a bit more of the chrome will do more for me than a different pain scheme will. Now for performance; It's currently stage one, what would be a good next step?

Decided today not painting the bike, just going to powdercoat some parts (exhaust heat shield, lower front fork, triple tree, strut covers), and then depending on price doing cams and dyno tune.
