I had my brass powder coated and did prefer powder coat to brass. I have seen other forum members powder coat their xpole and they also seem happy with the outcome.
Yes I had my pole pc'ed last winter and came out great. There are pix of it on my page in the album titled "purple pole".
Does th powder coating come off eventually? What's the grip lyk for CKR as av heard tht the burning sensation u get on ur inner thigh etc is really bad, lol. x
it doesnt come off...i do CKR and CAR just fine with no pain
there was pain of course when i firsr learned it but my skin there is used to it now
and i learned on a powdercoat lil mynx

The coating hasn't come off my pole and it will be a year in March since it was done. You will have to call around to the different shops in your area that do powder coating and get price quotes. I got mine done for about $65. After you pick a place, you will bring in your pole and explain to them what pieces move and need to be covered up, next you will look at all the colours they have(sometimes they might have to order your colour if it isn't in stock, which will possibly cost extra.) The powder stuff looks like mineral eyeshadow.
Oh and the burning you are talking about is going ot happen no matter what kind of pole you use, because your skin isn't used to it. It will toughen up as you practice more.
I can already do most CKR etc was Jst wondering as sum1 had sed tht evn if u can already do it ur will hurt again as a pc'd pole is alot grippier and will always burn even once ur use to it. xx

I get friction burns from PC poles when doing moves like drops. I don't get that on other finishes. I love the color variety and grippiness of PC though.... I just need to be extra mindful of what I'm doing with it.
like i said CKR doesnt hurt me on pc

When you are adjusting to the friction of holds there will generally be discomfort on the skin regardless of the pole finish. I don't have issues with CKR or other holds on power coated poles. I actually like PC poles due to the extra grippiness. My issues are when I am doing something that has a very fast motion with high friction for a reasonable length, like a drop. I won't do them on PC poles anymore. Other moves I do fine with PC and even better than other finishes. There was no damage done to my pole by the shop that PC'd it.
Which kind of store does this process of poder coat a pole? I can't find any in Portugal..:(
