Chromed lugs?

I'm curious about the chromed lugs on some classic steel frames. Are these chromed after the frame is assembled and brazed, and if so, is the entire frame chrome under the paint, or can the tubes be masked off before chroming (which is an electroplating process, right?), or are the lugs painted with some seriously shiny silver paint?
