I just had mine powder coated, no issues. And the Edson instructions Steven cited say the pedestals are powder coated. So I think those fears are unfounded.

Previous boat - I had the pedestal Awlgrip'd, it came out well but I chipped the damn paint while installing it. Powder coating was 1/2 the price I paid for the Awlgrip job, and looks good so far.

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?  Anyone have 
any luck with painting over the cancer while still on the boat?

Thanks,

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.

The black coating on the stanchion bases along the rail on Alera have flaked
off in a few spots.  I bet someone here has dealt with this issue...
