What grit to use to smooth edges of stainless exterior?

[cybercoffee]

My cybertruck has a few burrs and sharp edges on some doors and other parts of the frame. What grit would yall recommend for taking these off by hand and smoothing the edges? Some areas are clearly deburred and the sharp edge has been beveled off (we’re talking a bevel of maybe 0.5 or 1 mm at the max, but it’s noticeable and it helps), but other places not so much…thanks!

Maybe grab something like this. You don’t want to accidentally sand over the edge and end up seeing scratches on the face. This might give you more control. I would think see if 120 works first

I would use a block like Jack27 suggested but, start with light pressure on a 300grit block to knock down heavy spots and finish with 600grit by hand-medium pressure be aware to stay on the edge, you may otherwise create a line along the face/edge.

Deburring tool would help get rid of most of it and probably make sanding it smooth easier as it'd be more even

I'm wondering if the Noga DB1000 dual edge would work on the SS.

Mfr# DB1000

I simply used a fine metal file, and taped off the adjacent areas. A file can be controlled better in my opinion when compared to sandpaper or sanding blocks.

My concern would be this wouldn’t work on surfaces where you don’t have clearance for the inner roller. But for sure it looks like it’d work on the door…

I suggest emery or silicone carbide, and work with just a tiny little piece or strip. Aluminum oxide will work in a pinch, but is not the best.

I'm considering this stuff. Tool & die maker recommended.
