Clownfish, Yes I'm not too happy with the way Mercian prepared the frame. It all looks great, but when I had trouble putting the BB in, I took it to my LBS where the mechanic looked it up and down and said they hadn't prepared the threads properly or removed paint on the steerer. I'm having to do work they should have done for me.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'm too scared I'll break something if I bang the crown race into place, so I'll scrub off the excess paint on the steerer and see how it goes.
