Powder coated piston!

[Blasterman96]

I've been wondering if you power coat a piston will it do anything

 

[blasterdemon7]

It will melt the coating and probably cause your rings to stick scaring the bore.

 

[89blaster89]

why would you want to, waste of money, time and no one will even see it

 

[blasterdemon7]

Standard PC melts at 400-450 F.

 

[Hillbilly_Proud]

DO NOT do that!

 

[Hillbilly_Proud]

If it chips, would you want pieces of PC in ur engine? You would have to grind out where the rings go for them to fit, and it could easily start pealing by the rings

There are baked on coatings on High Performance Pistons , its a super slick type of coating that reduces friction and increases piston and bore life. I don't know that I've seen them for 2 strokes , but they may be available. PC goes on far thicker , and after heating your piston to to point where it will stick , plus the added thickness of the PC itself , your piston won't fit in the bore. Its pointless and shouldnt be done.

Yeah that's definately not somethin you wanna do ! In terms of pros and cons, its all con and no pro haha.

NICE! That would look sexxxy, perhaps fitted with some red rings, as a gearshift knob in my truck! I:I

But like others have said, apart from artistic uses for pistons, PC'ing is not going to do anything for your piston except ruin it.
