It would be my last option tbh I would sooner buy a new pair of green & brown shells & plastiguage them.
These are the shells I have removed I think they need replacing just due to the white metal wear & odd pitting type marks what's your view Bryan.

Bryanj:
Yes Ted, i am beging to suspect the man i got it from told me porkies, they look like oil not changed often enough to me mate, sorry

Trigger:
Those shells are fecked and with that much damage the crank could be worn  ;)

Orcade-Ian:
Ted,
Before you spend any money on shells, I would get that crank measured, especially the right hand side (in your pic) main bearing journal - that centre ridge is very noticeable, even with my eyesight!  The big end journals don't look quite so bad but they have full width shells which can hide the truth.
A normal mic anvil might go on the worn section but even a carefully used digital vernier should pick that wear up.

Graham, does anybody metal spray and re-grind bike cranks these days?

Sesman:
Agree with Trigger and Ian. I’d be very cautious over that crank. A good clean up, inspection and measure is required.
