Rust blue is a chemical process and can be started or stopped at will. An old "gunshow" trick is to re-blue without polishing. You can degrease the barrels and just apply acid to the location lacking in color, card off and repeat until the color builds up. You may need to apply the acid to everything on the final few passes to achieve a good blend. Good luck with it.
