Either way, it's looking great.
Thanks. I also think it looks great.
I'm certainly no expert, but I would say it's chromo-velato, as the frame is chromed underneath the paint. The effect is difficult to catch photographically. I think I got the lighting just right in this shot. It looks totally different in photos taken in direct sunlight.
