Factory bluing on MP samples I have seen - all P08 frame examples - looks black shiny highly polished on most surfaces with nice contrast relieved areas - like inside the frame recoil ramps that look maybe bead blasted or maybe bare casting texture

bluing looks almost like dense high gloss paint but of very high quality - uniform overall except sideplate which maybe 30% frequency look slightly reddish - rarely any other reddish tints on the frame or receiver

bluing seems thicker than typical salt blue - anyone had success actually removing this blue from metal without some form of sanding / polishing ?

overall - how best to prep metal for conversion to a rust blue reblue ?

thanks
Bill
