I reprinted my pedestal circa 208 or 2009 when I was replacing the idler sheaves that are mounted on the plate below the cockpit sole. I did it off the boat and my pedestal is white (so less heat to impact the paint) but I have been pleased with the result and no current indication of decay in the finish.
Since I had to remove the idler plate and all the wiring and cables, I took the pedestal home to work on it in the shop. Sanded the old surface with something like 120 grit to remove the loose powder coat and give some tooth for the paint. Primed with Rustoleum primer (think it was zinc chromate) and painted 3 or 4 coats of off white Rustoleum satin finish paint (2 cans worth IIRC). Now that I have said I'm pleased and the paint is lasting well, I expect to go to the boat and find it suddenly and unexpectedly flaking off. Oh well, just another project to add to the list. It is a boat, after all. Rick Brass Sent from my iPad > On Jun 29, 2014, at 22:47, Brad Crawford via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Do you think it would work well on a black pedestal?
