    I didn't think you could paint pvc windows. Saw a guy paint a pvc fence once and most of it just flaked away.

    but i imagine with an abbraisive sand and alcohol wash down there must be a suitable product or primer and product that will adhere with some longevity...

    Ah, sorry. Didn't realise that they only did white.

    Maybe something like this Primer:

    Dulux.co.uk show something similar when you choose UPVC as your surface.

    I'm just not sure what constitutes as a suitable finish coat.

    Just note it says "This product can also be used on interior U PVC."
