Depending on what they're planning to paint for. Use paints that are specifically formulated to adhere to plastics. There are several available on the market such as Krylon Fusion for Plastic®, Valspar® Plastic Spray Paint, and Rust-Oleum Specialty Paint For Plastic Spray.

Yes, uPVC can be painted and sprayed. The most important part of painting uPVC is the cleaning. Plus using special adhesion promoting primers & finishes. If it’s for uPVC windows and doors, my recommendation is to use a specialist contractor that does this type of work. Time spent finding a reputable firm is money well spent. When it’s done properly, you should get years worth of life out of the coating.
