US Chrome's piston skirt coating... any feedback

Was just sending a few cyl's out to be replated and I noticed that US Chrome also does piston skirt coating... Anyone had them do that? Any feedback.

I sent out to swaintech once when I had a 951. They claim to have a skirt coating that was better than the factory iron coating. This was for the Alusil block. That engine ran with a lot of power and is racing to this day. I may consider them again as I have Alusil pistons in the 911.
