K Plane painting or powder coat
#2
K Planes are powdercoated from the factory. The hardest thing is stripping the old powdercoat.
I have a set of 280 K Plane plates for sale in the Swap Shop and they would prob cost less than having yours stripped and repowdercoated.

I doubt there is anything special, but the key is the prep. It will still cost more to strip and powdercoat than to buy a set of clean used plates.

i stripped and powdered a set of k-planes for my old stinger....took me a LOOONG time in the sand blaster booth at work. There are a few strippers that do put dents in it though....i have heard that the primer for PVC piping seems to attack it good. Never tried it though. I used an aircraft paint stripper and did a couple rounds of that placed in a garbage bag so it doesn't dry out...then i took it to the blaster for the stubborn parts.
As far as powder goes..talk with the powder coating guys...they usually know what they are doing. The guy i took it to, put what i felt, a thicker coating on them after i told him they would be in the water all the time when boats in the water. He also baked them to off-gas any chemicals before coating that may be left behind so the powder doesn't bubble during curing..
