if you wanted to paint over them, you simply use epoxy based paint. it will stick to anything. The secret however is a really thin coat at first and allow it to cure. Then you have a good point for something to grip onto.

Another option is to scuff the vinyl and use a blond shellac and then you have some tooth for a tinted poly to work with.

Both are not the greatest idea as you can melt the adhesive that the vinyl was stuck with and it will start to peal. The epoxy is probably the better of choices as it will make a harder shell on the outside and reduce the chance of peal.

The better option is a heat gun and simply remove the vinyl all together, then use the epoxy paint. 2-3 thin coats then sand with 0000 steel wool to remove the high points and it will start to look OK.
