    P600 should be fine. It may take a little longer than with P400 or coarser, but it's safer. Get it where you almost want to be, then I'd roughen up the surface with a final light rub with P240 to open it up to staining. Leaving it with a P600 finish may make it too shiny to accept stain evenly.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I took some time with the 600 and almost left it as the grey stain went a gorgeous silver colour in the highlights. Decided to carry on with my original plan and came out with this:

    Really happy with how it came out!
