I would scuff it with either a scotch bright pad or 600 grit sandpaper. Then tack cloth it. Either spray , roller or brush an oil based paint or use automotive paint with a catylst and spray it on. If your graphics are going to be vinyl, try to make the seam(s) between the lettering.. For mounting on a wall, drill oversized hole. Do NOT fasten screws in so they dent the surface, just enough so they almost touch the surface.This will allow for expansion and contraction of the divine. I cover the screw with vinyl circles, color matched to the background . This makes them invisible and prevents them from rusting.
If the sign isnT too large, on PVC. You can use Krylon Fusion spray paint. It is made for plastics.

I've even had success rolling latex. Tried it and all the vinyl letters are still there years later. Use gloss latex of course if applying vinyl.
