No because the Laser has the Fundamental Rule that covers this:

Fundamental Rule

The Laser shall be raced in accordance with these Rules, with only the hull, equipment, fittings, spars, sail and battens manufactured by an International Sailing Federation (ISAF) and International Laser Class Association (ILCA) approved builder in strict adherence to the Laser design specification (known as the Construction Manual) which is registered with ISAF.
No addition or alteration may be made to the hull form, construction, equipment, type of equipment, placing of equipment, fittings, type of fittings, placing of fittings, spars, sail and battens as supplied by the builder except when such an alteration or change is specifically authorised by Parts 2 or 3 of these Rules.

If written in to the class rules that coating 'x' may not be applied then sure it is possible.

It becomes a 'measurement' issue IMO as the sails must have been measured and approved. I am guessing part of the measurement process would be a declaration that coating 'x' has not been applied.

I've heard that in some classes (one design?) Spinnaker coatings could be illegal? As it's not stated in the rules it can't be done? Taking a sail out of one design? I guess this goes for all sails, not just kites.
