Which refinishing option will give me the parts coated?

I mean, I want everything done.  Upper, lower, trigger parts, small parts, screws, etc.  I understand that springs can not be done.

That leaves out any of the spray & bake finishes, and steers you towards plating. You will need to decide what you want, then do the research, including contacting the platers and telling them exactly what you want. Spray & bake finishes won't hold up well on moving contact points, and if applied too thickly could/would cause functioning issues.

Yea, I figured it’ll be nickel boron, ionbond or chrome (not sure about the chrome).

I have a feeling I’m going to have to get nickel boron.

I have some nickel boron plated bolts. They seem to carbon stain pretty readily. I've had a few hardchromed pistols in the past and it's been my favorite coating/plating so far. I still see some shops offering NP3, you might look into that.
