A coating composition includes: (a) a carboxylic acid functional polyol polymer; (b) a melamine-formaldehyde crosslinker reactive with the carboxylic acid functional polyol polymer; (c) an acid catalyst; and (d) a non-aqueous liquid medium. The carboxylic acid functional polyol polymer has an acid value within a range of from 30 to 120 mg KOH/g and a hydroxyl value within a range of from 60 to 150 mg KOH/g. The melamine-formaldehyde crosslinker includes imino and methylol groups that together make up 35 mole % or less of the total functionality of the melamine-formaldehyde crosslinker, and butyl groups and isobutyl groups that together make up 5 mole % or greater of the total functionality of the melamine-formaldehyde crosslinker. The coating composition cures at a temperature of 100° C. or less.
