Restoring a Ceramic Sink?

I'm about to renovate a tiny half bath in my 1920 semi-POS house. Anyone restore a ceramic sink before? Is it a pain in the arse? I'm assuming the kits from HD don't work. I've got the little one below that is rusted around the drain. Rest of the sink is fine. Looks like the previous owner used a ceramic paint which didn't last. I can replace the sink obviously, but kind of like it.

I have not personally done one myself but I have a tub in my house that was refinished. In 2 years it is showing signs of wear and I am going to have to replace it in the next year I'm sure.

We recently had a chip repair done on our freestanding tub. I live in Mandeville. Try calling these guys to see if you can get your sink repaired.

The rust oleum tub and tile kit is as close to professional product you can buy for a novice. If you can, unscrew the drain flashing or cut it out. Then hit 600 grit sand paper to see if you can get the scarring and rust out. If not, use bondo to fill in scars/pits. Wet sand the whole sink with 1200 grit and clean up with tsp followed by alcohol. Build the layers slowly and it’ll last along time.

There is a product called ceramic glaze that can refresh the sink. It may not last for years but would look better than that. You use an acid on existing coating then brush on the glaze that is a "self-leveling" liquid that helps the brush marks be less noticeable.

We use this thing on toilets and it works perfectly. I would assume it would be fine for a sink?
