Enjoy those pistons, they were being a pita when coating. It's very hard to get an even coat when you have all the little cuts and corners. You end up with thin and thick spots. I re-coated several, sometimes more than one re-try. But it's gotta be perfect. I don't wanna put my name on a bad coating.

Most of the time they come out great first try, but if they don't pass I won't let them leave. If I catch something I don't like before curing I can wash it off and re-coat. After curing they have to be re-blasted and coated. Two hours curing time just to blast it back of and do it all again really tries ones patience lol. You definitely got your dollars worth.

That's awesome Morgan. I appreciate the top notch quality. Even the machine shop was impressed. I'm a little pissed I never got to see them in person!!
