How to Paint a Flagpole
- 1). Set up a ladder so that you can reach the top of the flagpole.
- 2). Sand the surface of the pole with 120-grit sandpaper working from the top to the bottom. Clean the pole with water from a water hose to remove dust and debris. Allow the surface to dry before painting.
- 3). Paint the pole from the top to the bottom with a trim paint roller. Trim paint rollers are about 3 inches long. Apply exterior primer and allow the primer to dry fully. Add one to two coats of exterior paint to complete the project.
