Seeking polishing of stainless steel

I produce hydraulic steering systems for high performance boats. The mounting brackets are made from 316 stainless steel plate 3/8" thick. the largest piece is shaped like a "U" which is approximately 9" x 10". There are 10 other pieces to this bracket that range in size from 2" x 3.5" to 1" x 2". All of these have the #1 mill finish; I am looking for someone to get these to a #8 mirror finish for a reasonable price.

I have some stainless steel brackets the largest of which is 9.5" x 9". I am interested in having them electro polished. I will need to know what the initial finish will need to be before they go in the tank. (Will the gentleman from Raleigh who responded to my post last week about polishing stainless steel please give me me a call. Unfortunately, I misplaced your number)

Thanks,
