You can use Testor's model paint for touch up. Use a light abrasive polish and throw a coat of wax on it. You should be good to go.

That’s a lot of packaging for a set of dropout screws.

Just out of curiosity and nothing more, if all the tubes were there, could a frame builder revive this thing?

Somebody tell SwimmerMike . He's got a thing for buying old, clapped out Bianchis. But I don't think his favorite framebuilder can fix this one....

Poor frame. You don’t see those Formula One frames that often. If you were closer I would try and score a few of those bits
