It is a really nice looking pistol. Robar has a brief note about their Electroless Nickel finish ( http://www.robarguns.com/additional_finishes.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). Based on that, Electroless seems like a good option.

I would do the Robar NP3. It's not shiny like nickel, but rather a pretty light gray. It's also very slick where you can wipe off residue with little to no solvents.
