It doesn't work that way.

You could send the pistons off to the coaters, and then when they come back MIC them and then hone the block out with proper piston wall clearance.

But, typically coatings are only a couple thousands thick, and you have no means to know how much honing will be required to get the cylinder walls cleaned up.

Just do it right. Take it to a machine shop and have them dial bore the cylinders and see where they need to be bored to. Then buy pistons and have them finish hone the block to the pistons and be done.

It'll be cheaper and live longer than half a$$ing it.
