I traded for this pistol & now I need some advice about how to go about restoring it back to how it should be.

Chinese contract Inglis hi power 3CH serial number. It's in overall good condition aside from the frame. Was cerakote or durakote by someone (this is sacrilegious to me). The magazine safety has been removed & the thumb safety has been changed. The hammer & trigger have had some kind of faux color case hardening treatment done.

I the mag safety & original thumb safety with it, so no big deal there. Doest seem to difficult to source original hi power hammers & triggers. Could refinish as them as well.

Big question. Is there a way to strip the coating on the frame short of media blasting? If the original parkerizing is under the coating, I'd like to preserve it. If I do end up having to take it down to bare metal, what is the correct parkerizing for these pistols?

Thanks for any information y'all.
