Use a Benjamin Moore Primer. As all good paint jobs, proper
preparation is required. I used BM primer and BM paint over 12 years
ago on my plastic exterior trim and it still looks good. I added
mildewcide to both primer and paint, because that's a very common
problem in my climate.

For the selected paint, BM will have a suggested primer. Whether that
is suggested for the application is a different question.
Where you need to start is w/ the composition of the column and the
manufacturer's recommendation for finish/painting.
