Steve,
You are already repainting it. So I'd polish-up and refinish the metal surfaces, too.

This a before and after with my wire wheel process.
I have the ability to repair those surfaces to smooth. Some planishing (hammering smooth) and some gentle stock removal and it could be shiny again.
Should I do that or do I acknowledge it's life and history by leaving it "as is" structurally?
Happy Sunday.
