The clear on the test pinball that we have all seen in the Stern videos is definitely much better than recent efforts.

TWD LE in my showroom has had 100 plays. It has that many craters, it looks like the surface of the moon. In fact, Greg ordered a second playfield for the game to have clearcoated properly. This was a constant issue he had with the quality of the clearcoat on all late model sterns. Almost half his LE's have spare playfields for exactly the same reason. Stern have definitely made a change with the clearcoat quality we all see in the video.
