Well, i worked at a factory for 16 years polishing stainless steel for kitchen sinks etc... I would use 180 - 220 grit sandpaper. Maybe even 280 grit, depending how much of a "brushed" look you are seeking (lower grit equals higher "brush" look). Make sure you go with the grain of the stainless steel when sanding and don't rub the sandpaper back and forth... sand in one direction only as uniform as possible if done by hand. I hope this helps... Good luck! |

I think I can still accomplish this with a 12" dimension of metal by reducing the height of the vertical (front edge) part. Now back to playing Tempest. More testing! |
