Is this going to look good?

I have a strawed trigger that is messed up. If I take a blued trigger and take all the bluing off, can I in fact make this one a strawed trigger and will it look good?

Yes

As Ron stated, yes you can. I took a mag catch and did the prep work, and strawed the piece, and it came out 100% to my satisfaction. I assume that you are familiar with the sticky on the prep and procedure for the strawing.

I saw the sticky note and in fact it seems quite easy. Is there a way to take off the bluing without polishing the part?

There are several commercial blue removing solutions and I have been told white vinegar also works.
