This is commonly called "dip only" and the company accepts ZERO responsibility for how it looks.
All they do is run it through the cleaning and bluing operation. How it comes out is how it comes out.

Here's a couple.

The first link above is to Glenrock, very possibly the best gun bluer in America certainly one of the very top.

A number of bluing companies do offer "dip only" but don't list it. You can contact the company and ask.
A Google search will turn up plenty of companies that offer bluing.

Thanks for the links Dfariswheel. Haven't found anyone locally that does a good bluing job, and was searching for someone with a good reputation.
