Interior Trim Peices

I tried painting my interior this past week and I did everything you should do when painting your interior, sanding, priming, clearcoating........still nothing would stick, After ALL that work and $$ i was not happy with the results. Ive heard of people using sheets of vinyl instead of paint on their trim peices, any problems with this? any idea of how much it would cost?

Before you put the primer on did you use some type of solvent to remove the old armor all or other products. I used Lacquer thinner and it removed evrything and dried the plastic out ,As soon as i sprayed the primer on it sucked it up
