Is this the lesser of the two guns you brought up in another post? IMO when considering what to do on a lesser grade gun is first, be certain it can safely be shot by having the bbls and mechanics checked out. Second, fix anything broken. Third, take measures to arrest and prevent any further deterioration to the gun. That being said, I don’t like using ugly guns. Why worry about refinishing it if you don’t like the way it looks? If done properly it’s not going to harm the gun and would probably make it a little easier to sell if you decided to. Although savvy buyers will beat you up because it’s not original. If you leave it like it is they will beat you up because it needs so much work. High grade guns are a different matter.
