Why would you scrape the paint of the lugs? Are they stainless steel? I guess they are not... Don't repaint anything, it seems that just the first layer of paint chipped of, didn't even get to the primer.. seal it with some clear lack and that's it! I also think it's a shame taking any stickers off it that show that it was a real race bike!
There is a lot of restoration of classic track bikes here so before you do more damage, read, read, read! Good luck with that beautiful frame!
