Unless you know how to work with the lacquer - suggest you check out local furniture restoration shop. At least contact them for what is possible and what might take more effort to refinish than you can afford.

I would never do this myself. Would a furniture restoration shop be able to match the nitron lacquer. or would an automotive paint shop be more appropriate

I know you didn't ask but those nicks and chips etc. are part of the history of the set and part of your history with it. Maybe give it a good clean and shine, I bet it would look outstanding.

Agreed...

Cheers
