I recently inherited an old Colt Official Police that is in desperate need of restoration. It is pitted in various places all over, not just the holster wear points, and does not have any grips.
It shoots very well; lock-up is tight and timing is perfect. I think it is beyond being polished and re-finished with the Colt Royal Blue finish that was the original finish. I spoke with a young lady at Colt who stated that when they re-finish guns in Matte Blue, they bead-blast and then re-blue and that it is a very non-reflective finish.
I have searched for a photo of a representative re-finishing in the Matte Blue but have come up empty.
My question is: can somebody provide either a digi-pic of the current Colt Matte Blue finish or a link where I can see what it looks like? Specifically, I would like to know how "dark" it is.
Thanks, all!
