How to paint a vinyl door
I have what I think is a vinyl door on my home. I have repainted it a couple times but the paint just peels off. I am a novice painter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you need a primer that works on plastic. Then a paint compatible with the primer should stick.

Jean is correct. There is a primer designed specifically to work with PVC and vinyls. It actually chemically bonds to the surface unlike other primers that merely surface bond and will eventually peel like you're experiencing now. You can cover these PVC and vinyl primers with practically any paint. Since you're right down the road from me, check with Sherwin Williams, I know they carry it, and Bartek's paint (Benjamin Moore). Lowes and Home Depot carry it as well although I believe they only offer it in a 12 oz spray can.
