There are a number of stainless finishes ranging from a stainless blackening chemical process, black chrome plating, to the various coating finishes.
Most of the coatings are polymer type "paints". Not really paint, but applied like a paint and baked on. These are tougher than any real paint.
The Ruger finish is the "Terhune" finish, named after a Ruger Exec.
This is apparenty some kind of chemical dip process.
Standard gun bluing processes WILL NOT have any effect on standard gun-type stainless steels.
I'd suggest looking in the back pages of The American Handgunner magazine. The better gun refinisher's advertise there.
