Wood refinishing/repair is fine when the finish is in poor condition or oil is present in the wood or there is damage.
Barrels that have gone silver or lost blue/pattern are perfectly acceptable to be redone.
As for case colors, I admit a gun with nice colors is a lovely sight, but I don't know that it is necessary. Especially when people take a gun that has nice faded but visible colors and completely recase color it to like new.
These are all my over valued opinions. Your entirely allowed to disagree.
