Theatre of Magic playfield issue. Can this be fixed?

Maybe I will knock it even and let it go.  I will take a photo of the area tonight when I am home so people can see it.

I ran across some older posts (2011 & 2012) for used ToM playfields and most of them are in horrible shape.  Mine is in really great shape compared to those, minus this "A" problem.

I like the word "patina".  Makes me think of Pawn Stars where someone comes in with a rusted up revolver and hears that it is worth thousands, then another guy comes in with a "cleaned up" revolver, it it is worth crap because he destroyed the metal and desirable patina in the process.
 Not that any patina is desirable in a pinball.

nickbuol:
OK. Here are some pictures.  First up, the damaged "A"


Second up, the "licensed" decal set I've been hanging on to.  The blue seems to "dark" to match the rest of the letters, and not that the "I" decal doesn't have the red on it, just the yellow...

I'd go with option 2.  If it's bothering him this much option 1 won't be enough.  Option 3 is touching parts that are not damaged with the risk of causing damage. 

Mysterioii:
PBJ you had mentioned putting a cutout section of an iphone screen protector on there just to keep the damage from getting worse...  Assuming he wants to keep his decal sheet, what about scanning the "A" and seeing if someone could print it onto clear vinyl with low adhesive or of the "static cling" variety?  Not as a real restoration but just to protect it and be a little easier on the eye.  Maybe someone around here that prints cabinet artwork or labels would be able to do something like that.

nickbuol:
I need to find an artist with a steadier hand than mine and who can color match some paint...
