Ditto for McCrankpin's suggestion for the lightweight bike cover. Easy, cheap and effective.
I met a couple of American riders two years ago in Angola that were worried about standing out too much in Africa. They taken it to the extreme and had taken steel wool to their bikes to dull them a bit. INMO, it wasn't effective as foreign bikes stand out anyways and it just made their bikes stand out fof different reasons.
The not washing angle is a good approach too. Just be careful if you ever let a local mechanic do any work at all, they usually like to automatically give it a good polish thus offsetting all your hard work of avoiding any form of cleanliness!
