I painted the back ones with high temp silver paint when I was putting the car back together. Will just give them a freshen up with the same paint (when the ambient temperature reads a positive number!)
Well a VERY temporary fix before I got them refurbed was to remove as much of the delaminated lacquer as possible and then lacquer spray them. It looked OK at a distance until I got them done properly.
