Spray painting your poles is the shit. Neon green and orange is the way to go. You just have to repaint a lot, because the paint chips off easily.

Neon pink and black is legit, but purple is where it's at. Go with bright puuuuurple.

How to spray paint your poles.

1. Sand the poles down
2. Coat the poals with a layer of primer
3. Wait for the Primer to be bone dry
4. Spray paint any color you want. Add at least 2-3 coatings
5. Buy 5-minute epoxy and coat the outside of the pole with it using a plastic putty knife.


Epoxy dries clear and provides a transparent plastic-like exterior for your poles and protects the paint from ever chipping. As a bonus, it is also lightweight and icreases the strength and durability of your poles. It cost me 20 dollars total for all the materials needed. I'll post some pictures up later.
