Stainless Steel Surface Finish How-To?

I want to impart a rough, random finish, by hand (no power tools), to 24 gauge stainless steel sheet. The area to be finished is about 24" x 36".

So far, 3M Scotchbrite #7440 is the roughest material I've found but it's still not enough.

Any suggestions on some alternate products and/or materials I can try next?
