Any oil based gloss paint.

You don't need to prime or undercoat - in your case obviously rub done/remove the old stuff first.

I've got drainpipes and waste pipes painted with Dulux Weathershield Gloss 6 years ago that are still sound

In my experience the Dulux Weathersheild Fast drying (Acrylic resin I suspect) bonds very well to PVC and provides a key for most other paints (although I tend to use one coat gloss).
