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.

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.
