Take it to C&G finishes in Liverpool. They would have sprayed it originally and they still do a good job including repairs etc. if required. However, if the paintwork etc. is still in reasonable condition a good clean, light T-Cutting etc. can work wonders.
Can we have some photos please? There's a good following for HQ's here.

Have a look on the 'Registry' section regarding the frame number etc.

Nice bike and a very nice project.
Have you still got any of the original components?
The Classic Lightweights site has loads of cool stuff about this
era, including some idiosyncratic articles on restoration.

And velobase has useful stuff if you want to get really pedantic
and have all the parts from exactly the right era.

Would be really cool to take it round Ireland as a further tribute,
I reckon.

Now that's a name I haven't come across for years
As a member of the Menai CTC we used to call round if we were passing for a panad
I did have his wife's old touring frame which he built for her many moons ago.
I believe he's into his photography these days.
