Refinishing (as opposed to restoration, which is a different topic) is usually a sore subject here. Most collectors would prefer to leave their guns as-found rather than refinishing them as refinishing will destroy whatever collectible value they might otherwise have. It is usually much more cost effective to find and buy another gun of the same type in an original condition more satisfactory to you than spending good money to have one refinished which, at best, won't be worth any more after it is refinished than before. But as always, it's your money and your gun, and you don't need anyone's permission to do whatever you believe is best.
