Hi peettee, I am slightly concerned about powder coating the underside of the soleplate, it needs to be perfectly flat as the new bed knife, once firmly attached, will conform to the shape of the sole plate. The new bed knife (complete with its sole plate) will need to be re-ground at the same time as the reel, as no bedknife is perfectly flat from the manufacturer.
