These parts were shown to me last week by a certain individual who is planning an out of the ordinary drag engine build they were all coated and came up a treat, the engine will be driven hard and then torn down to assess the wear on the coated parts.

Black cools faster if that makes a difference.

Ceramic coating perhaps??
coletrickle ·
quite possibly the dark grey "paint" is a wettable moly based coating designed to keep oil on surfaces that need oil.And its hard to tell but looks like it may have some kind of coating on the crown also but they can be almost undetectable.

It looks just like the super cheap satin black in a can.

Maybe they are putting it in a lexan case, like some motorcyles diffs as to make the car look fancy.
