A method of applying an anti-friction coating to a piston assembly is provided including applying an anti-friction coating to at least a portion of the surface area of a piston. The anti-friction coating comprises a binder matrix and a solid lubricant. A localized curing energy is applied to only a portion of the surface area. The localized curing energy comprises a first curing energy. 1. A method of applying an anti-friction coating to a piston assembly , comprising:applying an anti-friction coating to at least a portion of the surface area of a piston, said anti-friction coating comprising a binder matrix and a solid lubricant;applying a localized curing energy to only a portion of said surface area, said localized curing energy comprising a first curing energy.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first curing energy comprises one of infra-red radiation claim 1 , ultra-violet radiation claim 1 , and induction radiation.3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:subjecting said piston to a second curing energy after applying said first curing energy.4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said second curing energy comprises hot air convection.5. The method of claim 3 , wherein said second curing energy comprises one of infra-red radiation claim 3 , ultra-violet radiation claim 3 , and inductive radiation.6.
