Ordered a repro upper playfield for my Jokerz pinball machine from Planetary Pinball. Dimensions are perfect of course. But the plastic itself seems to have hairline imperfections in it. All feelable with a finger nail. But I doubt it would affect any real game play. Is this normal for these types of parts?

I've reached out to PP and their customer service tells me this is normal for repro parts. Am I being too picky and unrealistic that new plastic parts should be free from these types of defects? I suppose as long as it's structurally okay, and not hairline cracks that will get worse I'm okay.
