Go to a craft store and you can find paint formulated for canvas that is at least water repellent. Michael’s is my best recommendation based on my experience for assistance.

Here's a link to one painted with Krylon:

Hello I understand the frustration with faded items. I often use acrylic paint with the addition of fabric medium to be painted on my flags windsocks and spinners. It works well to brighted up color and makes my favorite faded summer items more attractive. In the case of some nylon items -you can tell is the paint applied in the translucency of the fabric

I would paint it with fabric paint using a sponge craft brush...one brush for each color (they are very inexpensive and disposable).
