Buff off the rust using 0000 steel wool and paint it with Rustoleum metallic paint to match. I would first mask the whole area with tape and plastic drop clothes or newspaper. Maybe the metallic brass.... https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/universal/universal-metallic-spray-paint/
How about painting the metal? Black would be a nice collr. Lowes or Home Depot has the appropriate products.
Definitely consider use the heat safe spray paint. It would look marvelous black.
A bit of steel brush, then fine grain sand paper. If you can, take it outside to spray paint black. If not tape off and use large box and plastic drapes to spray paint.
painting is the only option ,make sure you use heat resistant paint
Like others, I suggest buffing it up with steel wool and then spray with high temperature paint. I like the black, but it also comes in green and burgundy (I think).
With sealer then i would clean it as you demonstrated then i would spray it with copper spray the gloss
