Personally Paul I think your asking for miracles with the rims and the front pipes, the pitting seems far too deep for a decent result IMO. Rims might be cheaper getting replaced. Same for headers but I suppose that depends if they are still available.
None at DS?BTW what's the part number for the main stand your after. I'll have a look around for you. I have a habit of finding really hard to find pieces.
As far as I know crankcases were never painted originally on the sloper model. Later Honda twins like CB250K and CB450 had painted upper crankcase half but bottom was unpainted. My 1967 Honda press bike sloper was definitely unpainted.
Coming on Paul. Starting to take shape as well. Pssh, don't mention polishing stuff to Ash Weird how we can all look at something and see something different, the lower crankcase is looking bob on as we'd say but as soon as I saw it I was thinking, I'd have to remove all those little blobs of casting alloy that Honda just left there but that's just me, how Honda for instance could paint one half and leave the other bare is beyond me. Looks miles better painted IMO. Looking forward to seeing this one come back to life. How did the chroming turn out BTW? and was the BZP done by the Sheffield people who's name I can't recall right now. Was thinking of using them before I bought the Gateros kit.
