Default Question about 20 gauge stainless.

I want to make some 304 mirror stainless trim in 20 gauge. I dont have any to experiment with. I can shear and bend 18 ga steel with no problem. I will need to roll a 2" radius on the bottom and hope to be able to do this in my magnabend.

My question is this: is 18 ga (.050) cold roll similar in workability to 20 ga (.038) 304 stainless?

Second question: is anyone coming to the Redneck Roundup have any 20 guage they could sell me? Doesnt need to be polished.

I just want to be sure I can do this before I order a bunch of really expensive metal.
