Are you talking about a greystone finish, they were common on 682's.

Exactly

They came that way from the factory so I'm not sure what you'd find underneath it. I'd just leave it alone or you may have to cerakote it or something.

I’ve started to remove the finish in a tiny spot and I like the results but it is tidiest work. Was wondering if there was a rubbing compound to speed up the process.

Can't help as I've never known anyone wanting to remove a Greystone finish before.
