Krylon paint brand.

"Question: My house shutters are looking shabby and need repainted.
The shutters are made of vinyl and I want to be sure that whatever
paint I use will last. *Which spray paint do you recommend?

Answer: We recommend that you use Krylon Fusion for Plastic® on your
exterior vinyl shutters. *Fusion for Plastic bonds easily to hard,
rigid, non-flexing vinyl surfaces, such as vinyl shutters and
vinyl-clad windows. *It’s also easy to use because no sanding or
priming is required. *Plus, it dries in 15 minutes or less."

I used Krylon Fusion on an inexpensive plastic patio set like this:

It took something like 6 - 8 cans to do 4 chairs and the 4' diameter
table.

It looked pretty good for the first season, but then it started to
chip. I touched it all up with a few more cans but it started to flake
off after a few months.

Tip: don't try to knock a block of ice off the chair seat. Most of the
paint stuck to the ice, not the chair.
