Howard: Thanks very much for sharing your experience with Techline piston coatings. I have experimented with the piston crown ceramic coating and it appears to be easily removed via the media blasting process. I am not using glass beads but something more on the order of aluminum oxide. I visited Techline coatings at SEMA this week and they recommended a finishing type paint gun to spray the coatings rather than an airbrush. I found that VERY interesting and will invest in a finishing type paint gun. Then will further experiment with the ceramic coating. I ordered Mahle pistons in a 16cc dish and they turned out to NOT HAVE a quench pad. Sent them back to the supplier. Will go with SRP 16cc dish and they SHOULD have a good quench pad. Here's hoping for good SRP pistons.
