Thanks to one and all for good suggestions. I'll check out each one and
choose what seems best.

The base of the downspouts on our building are some kind of vinyl or hard
plastic -- I think it has a name of initials, like PCP or some such.

They are white, and I'd like to paint them brown to match the aluminum
downspouts.

Does this material paint all right? Would I need to use a primer, and if so,
what kind?

And what kind of paint?
