Some people use brush plating techniques to electropolish stainless, but I do not think that it is a practical method for an item as huge as what you want.
Safety of the operator needs to be a primary decision and a difficult one.

I agree with James - brush plating technology is your way forward. I suggest you don't try to do too much at once, and take the job in small steps; otherwise you will need some horrendous voltages.
