Can you find a broody hen? Maybe a neighbour will have one if you don't and she will sit on them and then raise the chicks as well.

Unfortunately incubation is a lot more complex than a heat lamp. By now there is likely nothing to be done for these eggs.

Welcome to BYC! Get a really bright flashlight and candle them to see if they are still alive.

I agree by now they're probably not worth saving. Heat lamps are not ideal for keeping them warm enough and the paint probably killed the embryos that were developing.
