When torching a mod, should it be polished or brushed finish? The two I've torched just come out being a dull/dark purple color. Also, is there any difference between brass and SS when it comes to torching?
Torching. Polished or brushed?

It really doesn't matter, but a brushed tube may tend to "refract" the colors a bit more than a polished one, when torched.
Here's a generic chart of heat colorizing. Note that the colors listed are to indicate the temperature of the steel, not what the final color is... and, they do not reference the SS more commonly used in mechs - so some experimentation is still required.
