Hi!
The round oilfilter cover was original polished by brush or scotch brite cloth and finally clearcoated.
Enginecase was original silver painted as you can see below starter motor.
Good luck with your restore, Bo from sweden.

Hi,

As you can see below on an extract from a table I made, I deduced your bike has very likely been built in june of 1969 :

06/69   1003114   E1003239
06/69   1003256   E1003201
07/69   1003412   E1003838
06/69   1003520   E1003810
06/69   1003541   E1017144
06/69   1003575   E1003834

The building date #3412 seems strange but not impossible, knowing that Honda didn't manage engine an frame numbers.

Only paint the case below the starter engine.
