I agree 2mm is what I was going to buy. Mine has previous paint job . I'm going to take the wood sticker off then lightly use isopropyl around all the edges to clean off all the old plated chrome. I will then give it a nice spray of the black. The edges leading up to where the pen chrome is applied will look nice if they are black, I figure. I hope ... I have a couple test pieces. Hopefully the chrome pen over the black paint ( it was mentioned in that long article that black paint helped with the spaz stik, who knows if it does with this. I just wan the edge on inside to be black. The very top edge is actually chrome plated as well I noticed!

Anyway if someone things don't bother with black, I'm not opposed to following their lead.
