Best place to refinish a pistol barrel

[DWARREN123]

Any suggestions for a good place to have a pistol barrel refinished.

Thanks

What sort of finish does it have now and what's wrong with it?

[DWARREN123]

CZ 75B compact and the finish has turned gray, would like it dark. Maybe satin black or similar color.

Parkerized maybe? There's lots of options.   Just the barrel or the whole gun?  

[DWARREN123]

Just the barrel.

Just to be clear do you really want to refinish just the barrel or do you mean the slide?

Is the finish wearing off in contact areas, or is the finish just fading? 

If it's wearing off in contact areas you might consider just removing the finish all together and either leaving it satin or polished out. 

If the finish has just faded, depending on what kind of finish it is, I would hit it with Aluma Hyde and pop it in the oven. Surface prep is everything, which is why it's current finish is significant. If it's parkerized, your good to go with just a thorough degrease.
