Thank you for viewing. This tama was purchased about 4-5 years ago. In my personal opinion, the paint is thicker than the recently released Friction Clear. There is some paint chipping around the hole, showing signs of wear, but it still plays well. I'd rate it around 7-8 out of 10, with 10 being new. This is a subjective assessment, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details.
