Both of mine wear single stage paint jobs, the one on my '65 is 29 years old and holding up, and the one on my '67 is 21 years old and still looking good. Try that with a two stage paint job. I keep my cars, and repainting every 10 years because the clear coat is peeling off is not an option for me.
Jeff, I did what you did 27 years ago to mine, It could use a compound and a good wax.
