This all sounds really neat, but the OP asked what he could do to blue a Rem 1100 barrel that is already polished. Rust blue will not match the receiver, and sinking a couple hundred into rust bluing makes no sense.

Since it is already polished, find someone who does caustic bluing and have them dip it. It usually runs around $25 to dip the barrel, most of the cost (and almost all of the work) of bluing in in the prep work. Ask your local smith who runs bluing tanks.
