Thanks for the advice on the headset, I'll try and remove before painting.
I did a bit of googling for sand-blasting and it looked like it would cost about £50. So to keep costs down I thought I'd attempt to do it by hand. Local car mechanic is a good tip. If/when I try another build I may go this route. This time I've enjoyed spending time with the frame :)
