As mentioned before, sand or scuff the pvc before spraying. Use like 400-600 grit sand paper or a red scotchbrite pad. Let it dry for as long as possible, in my opinion minimum 24-48 hours, I'd like to see it dry for 30 days.
There is an adhesion promoter in the product that helps it stick to plastic better.
