This should not be too hard to fix.
The black is easy. black is pretty
much black. but you have to deal
with that light blue. i would use
water acrylics, get the best matched
color. then re-paint the entire worn
blue area. this way you don’t have
to deal with matching so close.
The lavender you don’t have to touch
up as the black around its edge
will fix that.

after that is done, clearcoat the
playfield. if you’re not up for that,
you can do the “water-thin super
glue wipe and roll” trick. That would
work pretty good. After you’ve done
that perhaps you could fill the area
in thin layers or water-thin super
glue, build it up, and block sand
it level with 2000 grit. polish with
novus2.  done.
