We recently finished coating a set of CP Pistons for a customer.  Using the Ceramic coating for the piston side skirts and a Thermal Barrier Coating for the piston domes you can follow along the pictures below to see the finished product.

Pistons are now prepped and ready for coating. We blast them with aluminum oxide at a low air pressure to avoid any damage but give the part a good surface for the coating to adhere to.
