Check out the paint used for rc car bodies. Paint the inside of the canopy. If you use something like the Pactra car body paints you don't have to do anything but wash the canopy first, and there are a lot of available colors. You can also get a water based paint for car bodies but I think it only works with an air brush unless they have changed it in the last few years. For the water based paint it is best to at least go over the surface with steel wool or fine sandpaper to make it stick. Light coats work best.

BTW, if you use a multi colored paint sceme, paint the darkest colors first. Remember everything will be reversed painting on the inside and if you do light first the dark will show thru unless you need some interesting effects. If you need the light colors or candies or fluorescents to really stand out back them with white or silver.
