We all know that Stern gives average balls with the game but you wouldn't think it would do this sort of damage in only a few thousand games. When I had my IM it clocked up around the 5000 games and was very nice though cleaned and a quick polish every 6 months and it had 2 magnets. I would have to agree with Nino that the clear coat is so thin more recently and not holding up but still think they are also using softer timber and / or have routed the playfield on the wrong side being the softer side up and then progressed to be printed on the wrong side.

It does make you wonder those early shots of the first 20 kiss pro's looked to have a nice clear coat and went out for testing but then production started and quality dropped back to average / sub standard if dimples and issues are being noticed.

Curious Pinball God, what was the details about the JJP early printing process issues, curious as that is when Spookie's Charlie was doing them at his old work wasn't it??? Was the timber not prepared properly for the printing process ???? as it appears that big chucks of paint are coming off with the wood being clean underneath.
