I fitted a grip frame and ERH from an original high polish Vaquero onto a NM Blackhawk in stainless. Only problem is the high polish SS does not match the brushed SS on the BH. What grit emory paper would best approximate the Ruger factory bushed SS finish on the BH? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Scotch-brite pads. Green or burgundy work well for me. I get them at the local O'Reillys Auto Parts store.

What hittman said +1 Brush in the direction of the marks in that area to get a match.
Remove the ERH and grip frame and do them off the gun until they look like a close match.
