Default S&W M5906 diy?

Following a couple of threads about M5906 modifications by BMCM and guzzitaco, I got motivated to take my police trade-in M5906 out and kinda just give it a look and see if I'd like it more if it had a different finish or some such.



I thought to myself, hmm, maybe a mirror finish here and cold bluing there? Nice, I'll do that.
So, I took my brand-new sight pusher out, took the gun all apart, hand cleaned her, and here's where I am right now: unsure of what to do next.


I know I'm not putting her back to how she was, nor do I want her to look like new (with bead blast), but I also don't want to permanently ruin her looks.

A question I have is that can "cold bluing" be reversed? Can mistakes like smudges be easily corrected? Sorry if it sounds like a totally stupid question but I'd like to hear some sound advice before do something I might regret.

Btw, I have zip experience when it comes to this kind of stuff but have a pretty good way with following instructions.

So any advice or suggestions?
