MHS Build Design (opinions/ideas) wanted

[acrylicsuperman]

I'm currently building my first lightsaber now, which is a sink tube saber. I'm nowhere near completing it yet. I've made mistakes and have learned from them. But I've made note of what I've done wrong and figure my second build will go a lot easier.

Considering my first lightsaber is loosely Vader ANH based (with a couple additions of my own), I figured my second should be custom. my own. So I thought about what characters I like, what lightsabers I think look cool and what preferences I have.

I think this saber is going to be my dark side saber. I havent yet decided which I like best.

The black parts (minus the graflex clamp) are powder coating. Having never gone through this company, I wondered whether anyone can lead me to some examples or recommendations on the color.

I’m considering Black Matte Tuscan or Black Chrome. Can anyone give me opinions on which would be better to use or show me better pics of what they look like? Opinions and ideas are also welcome.

Black chrome is more of a gray color and shiny, while the black matte is more of a flat black.

I like the first design better than the second personally.

black chrome has a trans look to it, giving it the "chrome" appearance. Matte tusken is a flat black with no gloss.
