If you're regretting painting the light, don't beat yourself up for it. This is a learning process. What you could do is relic the light, which means to rough it up a bit and get some rusty patina back. You can scuff it up with sandpaper, hit it with something to give it some paint chips, etc. then apply either bleach water or vinegar and water on it until it gets the patina you are happy with. The relic process level you do is up to you. Nice bike!!
