The outside looks like it's been shot blasted and spray painted so fine. The inside is not bad either but as it's on its original bore it is very very likely to need a rebore, making the piston useless. (Even if it doesn't need a rebore I would make a strong case for the piston needing replacing if that is the original piston). The important area (seeing an there is not a lot of damage around the exhaust port) is the top of the bore where the piston rings reach the place where they change direction. This is the part that gets the most wear and should be measured before deciding what to do.
