Looks absolutely brilliant, but am I missing something? Why wouldn't you patch before applying clear?
Sorry if I'm a Dubbo - and sorry to anyone in Dubbo 
Not sure what you mean by patch? If its repairing the wear spots then its on purpose!
The theory is - to seal the playfield with clear to protect whats there and to build up the level (as I had removed and redone inserts). Its at the stage now where I'll begin paint touch ups then clear again. I guess I can safely mask and tape up sections without fear of lifting more paint.
