Powder coating a spin pole???

[Matthew Sebring]

I agree with the other poster that a $150 powdercoat (if that's really what it is and the quality is decent) sounds like a good deal. However, it won't really fill the gouges and abuse, just highlight them like paint does. I've done an awlgrip job on a spin pole which (like the last posters says) had been etched (sandblasted actually) painted with a high-build primer then filled with awlgrip's filler material (red stuff, can't remember the name) then sanded then painted over again (then filled again, sand, paint, repeat) until everything was uniform and then given a final awlgrip topcoat job. The end result was a pole that looked brand new.
