I'm clueless about that vintage, but might help others if you share more detail about which fasteners you want to refinish.
Indeed, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The attached are from a survivor car (present at the 2024 POCI convention in Springdale, AR). These are the exact bolts to which I'm referring. Clearly, these are somewhat worn and weathered, but hopefully, we can get an idea of what they really should be (and the washers, as well).
