Unfortunately the playfield on the game isn't great either, not to this extent though. Makes it a very borderline decision whether to order a new backglass and continue the restoration, or pass it on to someone who can give it the time it's going to need. Possibly one of the hardest playfields to touch up with the silver checkerboard pattern everywhere, and of course that's where the majority of wear is!! 
I would like to have seen how bad the Cover Girl glass was before the attempted touch up (if you can call it that). It's impossible to determine how much paint loss there was, but I'm betting it looked better before than after.
I've had glasses with 90% paint loss like that Triple Strike, you have to know when to walk away!!
Quoted from pinwiztom:Was that a WMS Daffie or Doozie?
Nope. I believe those were made of plate glass, but I could be wrong. Only tempered glass does this!

Quoted from jrpinball:This one went from very nice to as bad as it can get in about a nanosecond!

Wow, bad enough when playfield glass does that, but backglass, ouch. Think I will stick to plate glass for back glass reproductions. Sorry for your loss.
Quoted from pinwiztom:Can you give a clue at least;
like EM or Solid State.
EM of course!

Card Whiz?
Quoted from LyonsRonnie1:I keep seeing this one on ebay, can't quite figure out what's going on there. [quoted image][quoted image]
Looks pretty cool to me. I would use that as a wall hanger.

Target Alpha?
Quoted from pinwiztom:While i concede that the purples and pinks match up, i could never find where this piece
(yellow/black/red)
fit into the target alpha BG

That's from between the R and G in TARGET. Your brain probably was skipping over the title and looking just at the art?
