I once rattle-can spray-painted my RD250/350LC blue. Went overseas and it was sold (blaa blaa long story useless brother in-law with huge farm sheds full of crap but no space to store a little bike ...).
Three years later back in the country, and find it outside a dealer.
Someone had installed a proper oil pump, no longer a pre-mix.
Someone had also fixed the crack I put in the crank case, no longer dripped gearbox oil.
But ... it was still my beautiful blue.
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
