If you can do a semi gloss that would be a happy medium. I have a restored QuickDraw playfield and it is matte finish and it is fine. Total gloss is overkill on an EM in my eyes.

Quoted from EMsInKC:That's pretty much what they told me, that and the issue of clear getting down into the opening.
Once I got the star rollovers working, the playfield swap was pretty straightforward. I've got another playfield that someday I might have them do, but like you stated, it doesn't have star rollovers on it. He said they fixed the issue but until someone else has a game with one and verifies it, it's hard to pay that much money to have this issue again.
Top Card has five of them so it was a lot of work. It took a lot to get them where they would move freely in the grooves. The clear was down inside the insert, even on the little tabs that hold the star in place. Those tabs broke off a couple of times and I had to improvise a way to keep the stars in place.
The same issue exists with the plating work that we have done for late model games. I had two wire ramps done for AFM a while back. One has a bracket for connecting another ramp and for a switch, both with tapped holes. Had to retap all holes for screws to go back in. Same thing with the wire ends - ended up growing in diameter. Had to ream the opening the wire ends seated into to get them to go back.
Granted, these issues were a breeze to address compared to cleaning up even a single star rollover insert, much less five of them.
Like anything, fixing one thing can create an issue elsewhere.
