Rust Blue and Evaporust

Hi Everyone I'm new to this forum and in the process of refinishing my first luger. Is is not a collector gun it's a pure shooter.
I am in the process of rebluing a 1920 DWM Luger. The finish was beyond bad. At some time in the pass it looks like someone used a "Brillo" pad to clean the rust. I have soaked all the parts to be blued in Evaporust it came out well. Will one possible problem. Evaporust leaves the metal a medium grey. I've been reading this is a carbon film. Do I need to steel wool the entire gun to bright metal? It flash rusts in minutes if the grey metal is not oiled. I've rust blued before with great success but never after Evaporust. Any comments are appreciated.
