I've experience that first-hand on my '85 Jag and on a few older cars before that. And once you get down far enough that you're getting significant/rich transfer all the time you've pretty much hit the end of your polishing ability. After you're down into the "thick/dense part" of the paint it'll start getting all "blotchy" and will weather unevenly.
There are still a few areas on the XJS where I don't get pigment transfer. Had I not got some transfer during that car's first polishing (the day I brought it home from the showroom) I might've thought it was one of those newfangled b/c paints.
And you're not kidding about the difficulty in respraying that stuff! My painter finally found *one* quart of the proper paint and so I could finally have some spots on my Jag done...his ability to match everything up right (let alone given the age of the car) proved once and for all that I've finally found *THE* painter for my cars. Heh heh, I waited so long to find a good painter that we couldn't find enough of the right paint any more
