You can get fabric paint at Micheals. They even have spray fabric paint. But what I would do is buy ANY COLOR latex paint and add a fabric medium into it. Try liquitex fabric medium or ceramcoat textile medium. Just google these 2 products and follow the directions on the bottle to mix with paint. I haven't done this yet so I don't have one of my own posts for you but I have thought about doing it myself and I would use these products. I love being able to use my own color especially when it comes to home decor. good luck!

Hi Richard, I have also seen fabric spray paint. I do know that people paint fabric furniture with chalk paint and it may work well for your cornice, if the fabric is taut. Here are two post ~ traditional paint with a fabric medium and a chalk painting fabric post for reference. Hope they help.
