Latex Paint is the best paint for fabric as It can be folded rolled or 
even wadded without breaking or chipping.  IT is rubber based making it 
flexible.  Also being rubber based it sticks to fabric quite well. 

Just some brief info.

I didn't get a single complaint when I was discussing turning a modern 
canvas
tarp into a wedge tent, although admitedly I didn't get any
suggestions as to a paint I could use to decorate it a bit.
