Should I get this BB shell faced?

I am the lucky new recipient of a 1989 Cinelli Supercorsa. The frame came with a headset but I'm pretty sure it's never had any other parts mounted on it. I'm putting a Record 8 speed group on it. I installed a lightly used cartridge BB tonight, cinched it down per my protocol and found the spindle completely bound up. Tried a new Chorus BB and it binds as well. The shell still has paint along the face. My guess is it should be faced but thought I would ask the community before I make the 1+ hour trip to the nearest shop with Italian thread tools.
