You can paint the door, but first you should paint it with Binz. Otherwise, the paint would peel off.

Don't do it. It will look fu*cking awful, and the paint will start to peel-off after a couple of weeks. A nice white clean uPVC door, and you want to paint it? Why?
Wash it with hot soapy water, dry it thoroughly, and then polish it with car polish such as Autoglym or similar. If it is really badly stained, T-Cut it first, then polish it. It will look gorgeous.

i am a painting contractor and the person who suggested using binz was on the right track....I would suggest an even better primer called X-I-M ...it is about 50 dollrs a gallon but it will give you the adhesion you will need to bond to the pvc, if you use the x-i-m you will be able to use any paint for a topcoat you want but i would suggest an industrial enamel...Valspar makes a good one.good luck

the paint would dry out and crack very quickly, if you managed to get it to stay on in the first place, as upvc isn't permeable the paint would have nothing to stick to...try painting a plastic bottle or bowl and you'll see what i mean

There should be no reason to paint one, unless its really damaged and scratched. Then you need to replace. Try a really good detergent and washing up scourer for a clean first.
Paint will not stay on, it will peel.

Not gloss, but there are specialist paints available.
