Sam,
Whilst very good at making frames, the guys at de Rosa never really cracked the art of making paint stick to steel.
They are notoriously prone to paint flaking, and also quite collectible.
this is handy because it means that any money you spent on proper enamel paint (were you to go that route) would likely be recoverable, at least in part, if you decide to part with it in the future.
