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.

yes, swain tech does ceramic coated pistons... I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself though...

better to pay $8 to a shop like $100??

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.

That thought would of never even crossed my mind. Looks sweet if you gotta replace the head gasket though !
