The majority of parts I've done were lathe parts. I've gotten away with wet sanding to 600 but for something like your doing you may need to go as far as 1200 or 1500. I've been in the same boat where I've gone too coarse to start and spent double the time getting the sanding scratches out. Most likely your dealing with a 303 or 304 stainless that is a little more difficult to work with cosmetically than a 316. Best of luck. Let us know how it goes. SS
