Re: Stus-List Painting pedestal
Painted my Edson pedestal with white brightsides in 2015. On the advice from Interlux, I sanded down to bare aluminum and primed immediately with white barrier coat and several coats of white brightsides. The key to priming aluminum is to prime it asap after sanding so it does not have time to oxidize. Had to remove the pedestal to do it though; too cold here in the off season to paint outside. Still looks great after 3 yrs. Did the same process on mast and spreaders the year before and it still looks great too.

Re: Stus-List Painting pedestal
I painted our black pedestal using Brightside, Matterhorn White back in 2003. It still looks good except for a few small places where it got hit by a winch handle and scraped off. I'll touchup with Brightside. First, I sanded and primed with that green primer first and then painted two coats of white. Sanding is the most important part as it creates a mechanical tooth that the paint can grab onto.

I believe Edson used to have a fact sheet posted on it website describing how to re-paint pedestals. As I recall, the biggest problem is getting paint to stick to aluminum.
