Painting PVC can be 'fun'. Look for a paint that uses Acetone for a
thinner, and you'll have a paint that is *more* likely to stick. I
spray a (light) coat of straight acetone about 10 minutes before
spraying the PVC trim, a second about 2 minutes before, then
immediately hit it with the top coat. The two straight acetone sprays
soften the PVC surface (don't use too much) and allow the paint to
grab. Done right, the paint is almost impossible to get off. (Done
wrong, it will peel off in under a year!)
