Hi Katherine,
There are several articles online about paint a sun umbrella, however I didn't find one specifically for the sun fabric brand. Having said that, most sun umbrellas are also waterproof. Read the article below then decide if you want to try it. It's your choice. Wishing you the best.

Most umbrella fabric has a resin type coating on it to make it water resistant... You could try a spray on fabric paint... or a latex paint mixed with a fabric medium (online Google fabric paint) I would sponge it on or spray it if possible for the smoothest finish.... if you don't like the results.... summer is on it's way.... and outdoor umbrellas... will be on sale.
