What you will need to do is sand it back down to the bare metal, prep it with a couple coats of high temp primer (make sure you do all the prep work for painting it first) and then paint away, should turn out just fine if you take your time and do it right.
I would wet sand it if I were you with probably an 800 grit paper till you get the blue off, maybe a little harsher but not much, then go to the 1500-1800 and wet sand the bare metal till smooth.
