Scratched Bead Blasted Architectural Stainless Steel - HELP?

Is there any way to refinish bead blasted architectural stainless steel in place w/out re-blasting?

Sounds like trying to take a shower without getting wet. Sorry.

Not really. The only way to achieve the same texture is via blasting. You can change the texture of the whole piece using other mechanical methods and there maybe chemical processes to clean the whole piece, but each of these methods requires good controls especially the larger the size of the part which you did not mention.
