you need to "polish" the pieces to a white metal condition, the degree of polish depends on what the rest of the pistol looks like- something that blends in- not a high polish, or a rough one.
Clean parts are good.
Color can be what ever you want it to be, look at pictures of original lugers of the type you have and go with something similar.
You can't really screw up, if it turns out the wrong color just
re-polish and do it over.
You just need to get on with it, you will learn more in 1/2 hour of doing than by asking a zillion questions! JMHO
