i emailed another guy about this
check out what he said

We never coated a piston for the r/c cars. I am not sure it will hold up to a nitro burner. We will ceramic coat the first one free if your willing to take a chance and let us know if it holds up.
On dirtbike cylinder walls we use Nikasil plating (nickel,silicon carbide)

I am a bit of a mad scientist. I was wondering if
you would ceramic coat a piston for me to
experiment with on my r/c nitro car.
here is a link to what an example of one looks
like.

its a 2-stroke engine and the case looks like this


When you ceramic coat pistons, do you also coat the
cylinder walls or anything else?
Well let me know what you think. if it is even possible and what you would charge. Thanks in advance Mike

anyone got a spare engine they would send him to test it on?
i got a torq .12 sitting around but i think it needs a new piston and sleeve.
