I gave incomplete information. The original owner paid extra to have the forks and whole rear end chrome plated, not just the head tube and seat lug as typically seen on Cinellis. (the forks are intact) The frame currently has no chrome and no original paint. (the frame currently has rattle can paint on it to stop any rusting.) my dream goal would be to restore the whole frame/ bike, with the lugs restored to the original height and the rear end and head lugs chromed, so bondo buildup would not work (I assume bondo can't be chrome plated). I do bicycle frame powder coating. I might have to take the disappointing hit, and just powder coat it.
