Customer came to me with his 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8. For a garage queen, the paint was in rough shape, interior wasn't too bad...
Found this paint not too soft, and not too hard. After several test spots and getting very upset, we decided to bite the bullet and do a two-step (although only quoted as a one-step).
Customers reaction when he picked the car up: "This is looks better than when I bought it brand new in 2008!!!" - as picky as we were, we won the customer over.
