Swing by and talk to James at Bullseye Bluing. I use him for work to inspect and tear down our shotguns we use. I've never had him do any bluing or cerakote work for me personally, but what I have seen in there looks good.

I have a shotgun with a camo wrap on it. I've been thing hard about seeing if I can get it off and blue it. When you do a high polish on the steel then blue it, it looks so good
I did these two recently. Not really bright but kinda semi gloss bluish black color. Cerakote Elite series Midnight.

Sheesh. The Cerakote chemicals cost more than the revolver on the left is worth!
I heard a few bad reviews on them as well, but what I have seen in person tells me otherwise. For example, I got a Anderson lower a while back that the grip screw became stuck in. I took it up to him, and he tried his best to get it out. Probably around 30 minutes worth of work. We couldn't get it out for anything. James sold me a PSA stripped lower he had, and charged me 10 bucks for attempting to get the screw out and swapping everything over to the new lower. I would at least talk to him and see if he has some current stuff he is doing you could look at.
Maybe this is obvious but since other methods are being thrown out there... Slow rust bluing can be done at home and can turn out better than any other modern finish. It beats home, shop, and factory bluing. Biggest problem is the time it takes.

You don't need to leave Columbus. Bullseye Bluing is in Columbus, and they do awesome work. Honest, good people there. Stop in, they are on Coca Cola blvd.
