Just about any enamel will work on PVC/CPVC - we use Krylon at work to do it

As for the adhesive - I've never mated PVC to styrene, someone else might have that answer

IIRC CA works if the surface has been roughed up, possibly one of the glues hotter than Tenax.

As for paint, a good primer followed by anything.
