Another option if you decide to remove the pedestal to have it painted, price a new pedestal, maybe the newer style?

Re: Stus-List Aluminum coating
Painted my black pedestal white using Brightside Matterhorn White in 2002. I have two small chips after all these years, but easily painted when I get around to it. Other prioities. I think any good quality paint by Interlux or even Rustoleum will work well as long as you prep the metal first by sanding to remove old loose paint, prep any bare spots w the etching primer and paint following the directions of the stuff you are using.

Stus-List Aluminum coating
After doing some research on that I decide to use the Birchwood Super Black Gun Touch Up Pen. It is a paint pen specifically designed to touch-up anodizing on guns and it does a wonderful job on aluminum. I've used it on the toe rail and on the eye for the stern dock lines. I bought it on Amazon for a few bucks here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WHANTA/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Some people use a heavy duty marker but I was afraid it would run making indelible zebra stripes on the topsides.. It blends in almost perfect, is surprisingly resistant to abrasion, and does not run at all.. Being at the stern that area is pretty much is the main drain for my decks and the worst offender for zebra stripes when the decks are dirty, after 2 months or so it's still spotless. Sending my toe rails out for re-anodizing was completely out of the question as they are fastened by being sandwiched between the hull and the deck using the deck / hull adhesive and attachment screws as anchor. -Francois 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Georgia___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List Aluminum coating
A powder coating guy I spoke with a few years back told me that powder-coating wasn't recommended for aluminum castings, as the heat used to bake on the powder could cause the casting to fracture.

Re: Stus-List Aluminum coating
I spray painted my pedestal with rustoleum satin black two years ago and it still looks great. Fresh water boat in the great lakes though, might make a difference.

Re: Stus-List Aluminum coating
Do you think it would work well on a black pedestal? Mine has been eroding away in a few spots over the years. Might be best to remove the pedestal and have the whole thing powder coated, but maybe the zinc chromate primer and black paint might get me by for a few year? What do you think?

Re: Stus-List Aluminum coating
Tom, I've used zinc chromate primer and black spray paint. It has held up well. The primer has a tenacious hold, while the black spray paint may need a touch up after a couple of years. Overall, I'd say it works well.

Re: Stus-List Aluminum coating
On Calypso we are 1 year into a durability test of painting a section of toe (holey) rail with the zinc chromate primer then satin black engine paint. So far the paint process has held up well. The aluminum rail extrusion was prepped by sanding with a scotch brite type abrasive wheel on a drill motor, hand finishing where required then immediately applying the primer. If the test section continues to hold up this well we will paint the rest including the stanchion bases as time allows.
