That depends on a few things. Is pink the original color, or has the ultra violet rays of the sun changed it from brown? How old is the vinyl? Are you sure it's vinyl and not aluminum? Is the finish powdery and washing off onto the red brick? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then don't waste your money on painting it. It has run out of it's life time. As far as what color to paint it, I have never heard of the base color bleeding through the top coat, so you can choose the color of your choice. Yes, if the vinyl is in good shape, it can be painted with a good quality latex paint. But, I would suggest spraying it on. Vinyl, like all plastics is non porous so it takes paint very well. I have sprayed vinyl with an oil base paint and it held up just as well as latex. I have even used a varnish stain to simulate a wood grain finish on beaded soffit vinyl for a porch ceiling and it has stood up to several pressure washes. Because I am a retired vinyl siding contractor, I have had the opportunity to experiment with the siding many times with very good results.

Yes. Clean it well and use a quality latex paint. Paint the ends of the siding when it is cool so you will not see the old paint during colder weather when the siding contracts.

Go to your local paint store( preferably a Ben-Moore, Sher-Williams or Porter, home depot and lowes products are inferior) tell them what your painting. Get a good primer(tinted to the color so you dont do more coats than necessary) follow the prep.instructions and finish with a good finish paint

Plastic primer first. Leave a day or two to dry good. Then any paint(latex is best as it is flexible)

Yes, go to the hardware store and talk to someone who knows what they are talking about.
