Steve,
It looks a lot better in your photos. Hugh was right. 0000 steelwool and some good cold blue would really dress it up.

In case you don't already know this. Clean the areas with steelwool and run hot water on it to warm the metal and open the pores, dry it with paper towels. Apply the cold blue before it cools. The blue will take much better.
