Default 1905 nickel 4th change

So on the auction, there was a .38 spl, for parts or repair. Nickel 5", 473292. Nickel has flaking and a couple worn areas. They stated the cylinder would not reliably advance, sounded like a project with worn hand. Received it, opened side plat and found no lub. Someone cleaned didn't add oil. lightly cleaned and lubed, it is about the tightest S&W k frame revolver I have seen and works perfectly! I would like to refinish, probably a powder coat, but now the dilemma of screwing up a mechanically perfect gun. This whole thing, incl grips delivered under $200!
Anyone have recommendation for removing nickel?
