Refinishing

The thread about the Colt Python got me thinking. Prior to rebluing, does a gun have to be repolished? If it is in 100 percent condition, couldn't chemically stripping the old blue and then rebluing be done in such a way that it wouldn't look like it had been reblued?

  I have a M1911 A1 that was in a fire, after a complete breakdown and cleaning it appears to be fine, except that the finish is ruined. I dont know a lot about refinishing so some suggestions would be helpfull. Thanks

  I know someone with that type of body chemisty, when theres a finish thats resistant to rust causing sweat, we call is Sarge proof. Anyway, I know that hardchrome works, but hardrchome with a poly coat on top of that (NP3 Coat) works better. I also like springfield armories GunKote.
