invader66,

Personally, I would find someone else to do the job. Sure as Hell if the blueing doesn’t turn out to your liking he will blame it on your preparation (polishing and degreasing??) not on his blueing job, and you’re right back at square one...minus whatever he charges you.

As in painting a stock or car, the finished product can only be as good as the preparation.
No blueing job can cover up a bad polishing job.

If you have to ask, then thats my clue that you should have a professional polish the gun out, they let your man blue it or let the guy that polished it do the bluing....

Best to let the guy doing the bluing prep the piece. A good one will prep and blue right away. Depending on weather conditions, etc. by the time you get the metal to the blue shop it can already start the corrosion process. There are preventative measures to lengthen the time between preping and bluing but the final finish should still be gone over before bluing.
Also, if you do, finger prints are just as nasty. Fresh preped metal should be touched with nothing but clean cotton gloves.

Just my $.02
