I've been thinking about the chrome sink tube for a shroud on my saber design for a while - I think the shinny-ness will work well in contrast with a black powder coat. BUT would I be better off using MHS Sleeve material? It looks to have a tighter fit, but the extra thickness might be a bit much, as I'm planning cut-away sections over a ribbed extension. Im worried it would feel overly chunky in the hand. It also seems to be less shiny than some of the other parts, (though that could just be the picture).

I'd love to here thoughts on which is better/most sutable for the job.
