The finish is not chipped, just discolored. I may just leave the finish the way it is. It definitely won't rust.
I was going to install an 8 speed Veloce group that is in my Campy parts stash but this frame may deserve something Campy that is a little more upscale.
The bike will be worthy of whatever group you build with. The Veloce is certainly nice enough to build into a rider, and beyond.
