What kind of paint should I use on vinyl?

I am making Miranda Lawson's loyalty outfit from Mass Effect 2 and my vinyl suit jusy came in from China (yay!). It has occurred to me that sewing onto this fabric might not be the best idea, so I was wondering if paint would work, and if so, what kind/brand?



here are some reference images: I'd be painting on the orange lines. the logo and big patches of orange I'll probably use excess fabric and attach it later.

believe it or not- "Rustoleum Frabric %26amp; Vinyl Paint". It's flexible and it's made for vinyl. I know that Grainger carries it, but I bet that you can get it through favorite hardware store or online. And yes, it comes in a variety of colors.



Have fun.What kind of paint should I use on vinyl?
