Are the single A or AA as theres some AA already refurbed on ebay.. maybe get them whilst finding a refurber locally. are they rimmed? or just peeling? you could do 90% of refurb yourself stripping down rubbing… and the such to save costs at refurbish shop
Get some thinners /paint stripper try getting as much off by soaking and light scraping .
Emery tape 120 to 600 grit
some filler for little marks or epoxy/alu paste
primer spray and contrast spray
then give primer rub down until contrast spray gone with 400 grit ready for painting or powder.
Give it a go whilst in lock down…. a good finish with own hand will make you feel proud

Peter Bartley at Langley Autocraft, Herts did mine.
He specialises in classic Porsche restos but has worked on all my cars.
He hated doing the p-slots but made a nice job of them
