Since it is awning material and has been waterproofed, you can't dye it so you are left with painting it. I would treat it like an artist canvas, gesso it (primer made with 50/50 glue and white paint - use water based exterior paint and water proof glue). Do a test to make sure they mix. Then paint with exterior semi gloss paint.
I tried painting an awning without gesso/primer and it started washing off quickly.
Hi! Here are some helpful videos for you to look at! Good Luck on your project.

Here is an article that might help - http://www.everything-about-rving.com/how-to-change-the-color-of-an-rv-awning.html
I used spray paint on a table umbrella. It took the paint really well. Try anything on a small area, first, to make sure it is appropriate for your material.
