Who thinks that you shouldn't use vinyl (soft sheen/silk/matt) on new plaster and who thinks you can use it successfully.
Now come on...let's narrow it down.
Im on the fence...fine on skim, risky on new deep bare plaster that has just been done in a unheated house in winter...therefore possibly containing moisture.

If plaster's damp and it has to be painted, use contract but don't make the mistake of covering up immediately with chosen vinyl or kitchen/bathroom paint with the idea that it's now ok to "finish" it - because it has to be dry before applying non-contract.
If dry plaster, you can use vinyl silk/sheen/matt etc. as long as it says so on the tin/tub instructions, e.g: Dulux rich matt/silk should not be used as first coat on new plaster...(got that from Third_degree)
If your plaster is powdery, seal it with plaster sealer. If it isn't use plaster sealer or a mist coat, which ever you prefer. If your plaster hasn't dried yet, use a contract, without plaster sealer or vinyl.
