Piston coating?

[UrineMachine]

Has anyone ever used any of the TechLine products to coat pistons? I saw a site a guy did it and it was like $10 a piston, but honestly, I need it done quick. I have access to the stuff, just need to know if its something I could do or should I let an experienced person do it.

I used NIC piston coat a couple times
nothing complicated
light blast and cures at 400 for 1 hour
it's shot with a normal hvlp gun

Do you coat just the very top of the piston? Like just the face, or do you do above the first piston ring? I would think just the face.

they are 2 different coats
piston coat goes on the very top of the piston ( face)
dry film goes on the sides (skirts)

I bought the CBC1 coating for the piston tops.
