The anodizing is gone. It'll never be whole again. If it's rough, you can sand it to smoothen. Apply aluminium etch primer (after degreasing) and then a grey paint to match the color of the anodized parts. It'll be less visible, but never the same.

I've used some metal polish and a buffer pad on an electric angle grinder/polisher.  As Yngmar said, it's never the same but looks a fair amount better.
