There are companies that have marketed "stainless" finishes that were actually paint/epoxy/ceramic pray on finishes that were matte stainless colored. I don't think Taurus has done this with revolvers. If this was a coating or plating and he took it off the gun is now "in the white" and will likely rust very quickly as it is probably not stainless.
If it is stainless throughout you can absolutely polish a matte/bead finish to the polish. I have done it with flit and a rag and also done it on a VERY heavily worn police revolver. As in must have been ground into pavement worn.
I just kept the guns with a bottle of flitz and rag by the TV. whenever I watched TV I polished. Lots of hours, but easy to do.
Of course it did not remove the deep scratches in the revolver, but once I was finished a friend who had seen it raw and laughed wanted to buy it for quite a bit more than I payed. I didn't sell it then, but when I sold it later got a bit more than I payed.
