My application process for how i ceramic coated my d16 s piston tops using vht flameproof paint for my turbo build.
Power can be lost through heat and friction caused by the motion of the pistons in the cylinders.
It is an oven cure ceramic thin film thermal barrier coating designed to be applied on the top of pistons on the top of valves and the combustion chamber on a cylinder head.

Je pistons has a wide variety of coatings that cannot be found elsewhere.
Piston skirt coating is becoming the norm in the performance racing world and has many benefits.
The coating protects the piston skirt from heat friction and wear resulting in a reduction of parasitic drag while decreasing heat saturation into the piston skirt.

In the engine s bottom end dry film lubricants are usually applied to piston skirts engine bearings and the main and rod journals.
There are places that will apply ceramic or some proprietary secret sauce to the crowns but that s a whole nother deal.
If measured on top of the armorfit coating the piston to cylinder clearance is less than the uncoated bare piston.
Coated piston skirts provide a dry sliding surface for engine startup and feature increased resistance to abrasion and scratching while moving within the engine block.
The benefit is negligible.
Primarily for pistons you ll see ceramic coating of the piston dome to increase heat resistance aka thermal barrier then some go the step further by coating the skirt of the piston with a teflon or teflon like coating to decrease friction.
