Painting PVC POST SLEEVES

Im hoping on the pros here to advise on painting pvc post sleeves. I know pvc can be problematic but we recently purchased a Benjamin
Moores COMMAND black paint. We scotch brited the pvc sleeves cleaned and commercially sprayed out black onto the material.
Idrues fast and adhered very well. Im concerned about any issues in the field with this method. IF so are there any suggestions from anyone here?

Appreciate any advise

Never used B-M Command but it says it works on PVC mouldings. Typically latex is recommended for PVC shutters and siding.

I have neighbors that used Krylon Fusion on lawn furniture and it seems to have lasted well but I'm not sure stores carry it any more. Probably has some banned solvent in it or something.

Command is great paint. I have never painted post sleeves with it, but I'd say if you can't scratch it off with your nail, it should be fine

We have painted the white vinyl posts. Scotchbrite scuff, clean then spray or roll using 100% acrylic paint. The paint takes a long time to cure so the scratch test may not work for a couple of weeks. Our dark gray posts have been up for about 6 years and they look good. There is some minor scratching but no complaints. I wouldn't trust painted post to survive weed wacking though.
