Yes, but sand it all over first to take the shiny surface off. Best to try
and peel the facing paper of the vinyl and leave the lining paper
underneath.

1970s vintage vinyl makes a great paint surface if you do as BW suggests and
peel the shiny surface layer off. It splits surprisingly easily.
I would suggest a lambswool roller to apply the paint which helps mask any
areas where the backing has also been removed.

Thanks both.
