I did something similar about 8 years ago....my pedestal paint was
faded....bought a rustoleum flat paint and applied two coats.....never
used a primer....it still looks good after 8 seasons in the weather and
with the 'flat finish' it is hard to tell the difference between 'powder
coating'.

My friends think of me as VERY particular about my CnC...
5 years ago my pedestal was looking rough. I decided to paint it.
Removed what I could easily, taped off what I couldn't, mask off the
cockpit with plastic to catch overspray, sanded lightly.
Used a rustoleum primer, then three light coats of rustoleum semi
gloss. My pedestal was black originally, so kept with that.
5 years later it still looks great...I can't imagine the issues I
would have faced to pull the pedestal....but I would paint again if it
needed it.
Are you sure you need to powder coat?
