For what it's worth, I refurbed Pegathy's MO pole 2 years ago. Sanded the fiberglass pole, painted it with Krylon for plastic. Has held up well. Peeled the rubber coating from the float, and painted that with the rubber coating used for pliers' handles. That's held up well, too, but it's not smooth - it shows the imperfections in the foam used for the float. I don't care. I use and old MO light which must be turned on manually when deploying. Less than ideal, but it's attached to the pole just below the flag at the top and shines 360 degrees - a definite advantage for both swimmer and remaining crew.
