Is it a Colt you have? If so Colt will refinish (or so I have heard). It takes a while but I have heard they will nonetheless. Other MFG. will do this as well, in their production colors. Just need to show some finesse when you ask. Worked for me..

Edit:

You can also try TECHPLATE ( I dont have a website add. for them) I believe they can as well. They are out of CA. Turnaround is like a week IIRC.

I don't want it painted.  I'm not too impressed with their stuff.  I tried some matte black and it came out glossy.  No matter what I did, I could not get it matte.

Try John Norrell Arms :

His dark grey moly resin is a dead-on match for the Colt Gray. I did an 80% project with that finish and at arm's length you can't see the difference, it looks just right.

So far I've had good luck with this finish on several different guns.

I did blast the lower with 100-grit sand before applying the finish as per instructions.

I can't sandblast it.  I just had it engraved for a SBR.
