    I just noticed your Pup resting on the stage, what a cutie!!!

    I googled powder coating and my area and found a few shops. I’ll have to get at least one of my Xpoles done. That’s just too cool!!!

    Note that powder coating may not work on chrome poles.  I am not sure if it has to be a "clean" surface for it to adhere properly and the shop may charge you to remove the chrome first.  Just something to be aware of.

    Right over stainless it should not be a problem.  Chrome is a coating as it is.  I looked around the web for powder coating over chrome and most said it needs to be sandblasted or roughed or removed prior to powder coating but the roughing is a normal step in the process anyway.

    When I had my swords copper plated, they had to remove the coating that was originally on the swords, so I am sure they would have to do that with the chrome as well. The pole looks totally bomb! There is a studio on Portland that has all their poles specially made and powder coated. You can kinda see them in their header of the website: http://www.brassybutterfly.com/
