Metal is harder than wood. All playfields dimple. This has been discussed a lot over the years. There is no magic clearcoat. Metal is harder than wood; no alternative facts here!

Quoted from flynnibus:Older games look like orange peel. While waiting around in league last night, I made a point to look at the various games. Ranges of everything from 80s solid state, WPC, and modern sterns. Games like LaserCue, Shadow... they look like orange peal paint. You can see the imperfections but the impressions on the playfield are very very shallow. You can only really see it in reflections and its just small deviations.
This.. is not small deviationsDesign or materials... this thing is going to chew itself up.
The dimples on the older games are all normalized together. On that Batman they stick out like a sore thumb because there are few, and there's a lot of wood that hasn't yet compressed. Over time it will look like the other games.
