Thanks for that info. I googled Chromovelato and watched a great You Tube video on the process by Battaglin. That’s exactly the finish I had. Very fragile finish for sure. I tried to post a pic of it from 1984 but I don’t have permission until I hit 10 posts.
I waited 6hrs instead of 6 years to post !
