If you read on VHT's site about their flameproof paint it states you can pait combustion chambers and piston tops the place where I get my machine work done uses the Tech-Line stuff to coat piston tops and bearings and stuff like that.

depends, do you want flecks of ultra hard ceramic ------- up your valves seats similar to how I take it out on your mom? Didnt think so.

Pay to have it done right, especially if its actually going inside the engine.
