I have no info on those pistons but I do on the coatings that are applied to them. It is identical to the coatings that my Powder Coating has applied for me on a previous V8 engine parts (pistons, cam, crank all DFL, ceramic on domes and valves). It does work and does add benefits.

I will be having these treatments done to a pending 500 motor.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

I had Swain Tech apply their coating to the skirts of a set of 61mm pistons not unlike those shown. I recently pulled the top end to replace the head gasket and the coating looks good after 8k miles. I'm sold.
