How To Make an Old and Miserable Porcelain Sink Look Passable?

Hello, all you cleaning experts! IÂve been lurking, really enjoying all your super tips, but now I am in desperate need of some help. I live in a 1920Âs house that came with what seemed to be a lovely original porcelain sink in the bathroom. On closer inspection, that same sink turned out to have a LOT of problems. We are about to have a ton of out-of-town guests, so I was wondering if you had any cheap, quick fixes for:

-- ancient paint stains

-- weird brownish stains in the bowl that do not seem to be mildew

-- shoe scuff marks on the pedestal

-- chips in the finish (probably not there's no hope on this one, but I thought IÂd ask anyway!)

I've tried a magic eraser, to no avail. Eventually, we hope to get the sink refinished, but for now, we just need simple fixes. Thanks so much for all your help.
