Noob questions incoming... What do the coatings do?

I honestly haven't looked into it. I will get you details. I am assuming they offer a skirt coating to reduce friction and maybe a ceramic coating on the top to reduce heat absorption.. At least that's the typical stuff I see on pistons... But in the really brief conversation I didn't ask for details on that.. I was cutting to the chase and going for the numbers so I could check interest

yes, those are the most common. I got factory trained on applying the stuff a few years back because a local corvette shop was wanting it done, but I don't like dealing with hazmat. I do have the coatings in my fridge still though, but I won't apply them for customers.

the point is, you do a dry lube on the skirts and a thermal barrier on the top.
