Piston Coat (Oven Cure)
We apply Cerakote V Series Piston Coat, an oven-cured ceramic thermal barrier coating, to piston crowns, valve tops and combustion chambers at our workshop in Heybridge, Maldon. Piston skirts can also be coated with an anti-friction coating such as Cerakote Micro Slick.

- Suitable substrates: all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
- All V Series coatings are one-part, ready to spray.
- V Series ceramic coatings are the unrivalled leader in high-temperature thin-film performance coatings, capable of temperatures up to 1800°F (around 980°C). They provide unmatched high-temperature performance with excellent chemical resistance, durability and aesthetics. The foundation for Cerakote V Series coatings is a unique inorganic ceramic technology that gives both high-temperature performance and excellent physical stability.
