1000 grit emery cloth or polishing roll is better. Regular sandpaper sheds too much grit for my comfort
Remember to always file or sand towards outside when messing with china plated jugs, you don't want to flake chrome off by pushing inward....mostly applies to files, but ...
Better safe than sorry!

yeah i deburred with 600, 800 and next 1000 grit. But i hope im not in trouble because i did sand inwards towards the combust. chamber..
I cant seem to locally find emery cloth, home depot people just say its"another name for sandpaper" -.- of course... But i think i should get some steel wool just to be safe

You can get emery cloth on ebay if you can't find it locally, I think harbor freight carries it too but not as fine as we need.. I think the finest emery harbor freight sells is like 250 or 400 grit, you can use wet dry sandpaper but like maniac says, it does she'd off a lot of abrasive so a Really good cleanup afterwards is needed. Also look up crocus cloth which is very fine for finishing work, it's not good at all for cutting but really good for polishing after you've finished your final sanding, some sellers will call it fine emery and others will call it crocus cloth, it's embedded with a very fine iron oxide abrasive so it does more polishing than cutting, this stuff also requires an after cleanup but it's excellent for finishing or polishing metal to metal parts like crank journals or wrist pins with very minimal material removal.
