So while I was cleaning my 638, I was kind of in a huff about how bad the finish looked. I half-heartedly swiped at the side-plate with a copper bore brush, and it scraped off the finish. So then I removed the side plate...
And scrubbed it with a bore brush...
And got it to a nice matte finish.
I looked around on the S&W forums, and stripping the aluminum Airweights with 2000 grit wet-and dry sandpaper, then polishing with Mother's Aluminum polish seems very doable.
How bad of a job is it to strip a J-frame down to the frame?
And if I can't get it back together, will you be able to help me, Pops?
I really want to refinish this gun...
