heres a pic of one after i rubbed one with 2000 wet and dry no pitting or anythink but if this the right way of dong things how do i get the shine to match the rest? not sure if i spray some lacquer on if that will do it. its all flat to the touch now just lack of shine on the bit i did.
so say there stainless edge on them
any ideas welcome

If it were me I would wet sand with some 2500 W&D that was soaked overnight. Once nicely feathered, polish with autosolve until shiny then spray the lacquer.
