I'd only get a gun refinished if it's something I wanted to do. A good refinish isn't going to be cheap and a cheap refinish probably isn't going to be a good refinish.
On my $400 beater Sistema, a refinish in blue would be expensive indeed. But that is besides the point, given the OP’s original question. The question was would a refinish increase value, and my example provided a valid reference point. A 90% revolver? Heck no.

Fortunately, some Sistemas were subjected to a rebuild program that included a parked refinish, and I like parkerized finishes. So I’m headed down that road.
