I had some problems applying CBC to my pistons.  Seems the
air pressure wasn't high enough in the airbrush and the
coating ended up too thick.  It bubbled and looked cracked,
so I'm going to sandblast it back off and try again.  DFL on
the sides looks great, though.

What coating(s) did you use and how are you applying it
(them)?
