Well I bed lined under my pin stripe looks pretty good. Now I'm thinking about painting above the line either Army tan or green. Which would look better if someone could photoshop it that would be great.

I can't photoshop, but I'd say color choice should reflect your environment (especially camo colours). Tan is hard to do right and have it look good, so I'd say go with the dark camo green. I did the light camo green, and it's just a little bright for my taste here in Utah. The green areas just arent that light. Now if I still lived in Missouri, I'd probably keep it, but I'm going darker later this year (just rattle canned it). I'd only go tan if you live in a desert like Arizona/Texas/NM/etc.

Isn't Utah partly a desert ? Here in Logan it is more yellow than green I have to say and the pine trees are usually lighter green haha

Yeah it is lighter up there, but down here on the east bench of Salt Lake and up the Cottonwood Canyons, the pines are more prevalent and a darker green. Plus the sage brush seems darker here than out west or up north for some reason...maybe it's a different bush...anyway, esp around town, the darker looks way more bada$$.
