Glad to say it's just a grease mark from sweaty old me, not a scratch. Photos do weird things.
Thanks all for the words of encouragement and such.
One thing I must set straight. I was told the top coating is NOT for anti seize, but is a THERMAL coating to protect and dissipate heat from the top of the piston. If I'm in left field, please set me straight. Glenn

You're right, your coating is thermal, so you're in the clear about the friction problem. Mine are for friction reduction, so I have to be SUPER careful.

The top is thermal protection, the side skirt is for friction. These have both, so we both are right.
By the way, for those that are interested, the company that did them for me is:
Moore Performance Products
702 W. Park Ave.
Suite E
Edgewater, Fl. 32132
Phone 1-888-409-7555
or: 1-386-409-7501
I hope this will help some of you guys who are looking for a less expensive company to do your pistons, heads, etc. I have NO connection with this company and don't get any kind of kick back for anyone going to them. Just trying to be helpful in the wallet area.
Good luck. Glenn
