Any Ideas on what paint to use to paint or prime PVC pipe?

Depends on how well you want it to hold up. Most any paint will work. OTOH, if you really want it to work well, you should probably use a flexible auto part primer. It's clear & you can get it at auto paint stores & I've seen another cheaper one at WalMart. After that, use whatever paint you want.

I've used Krylon spraycan primer on PVC pipe with good success. You can then paint it with just about anything.
While the other suggestions will probably work, I'm going to suggest lacquer from start to finish (no pun intended). My line of reasoning is that the cleaner and glue for PVC is lacquer-based. It actually melts the surface to stick to it, like it would styrene. Therefore, the primer and paint would become one with the PVC...sort of a Lacquer Zen thing if you will. Just my 2¢ worth.
