If you want to do it right you need to get them completely sanded, get an acid etching solution, slap a coat of that on, paint em', then a polyurethane clear coat.

I hate all of those colors and designs you little faggot. Don't invest effort in something you're gonna snap a week into the season either. Plus, no matter what you try to do, it will look like shit so don't even waste your time.

I go all dumbshit and get a big drill bit on a cordless drill and then put the pole (without the grips on) over the drill bit and tape it thoroughly to the part of the drill that regulates the size of the drillbit it accepts and get some sand paper, turn that bitch on high speed and go to town. I think sanding it like that makes a good even sanding all throughout the pole and makes a better paint job

yeah you'll wanna sand em back first then primer, then your colours and then a few coats of clear so they don't chip off. thats what i did. you can use tape or string and put a design on em if you want. see my pictures thats how mine turned out.
