Beautiful work. How or where do you get paint to match the color of the covering so precisely?
Thanks Dobra.

Good question Al. The covering is Ultracote, as you may know it is made in Germany and marketed in Europe as Oracover. I have a good friend in Germany, that sent me the matching paint, it is called Oracolor. I do not believe it is available here in the U.S. It is expensive paint + shipping from there to here, it was a bit costly but worth it and i did not have to buy very much just enough to do the canopy with some left over.
Thanks for the post, I was sure the paint wasn't going to get through but I was wondering if when the paint was drying it would shrink and pull leaving behind a paint trail. Good thing to know.
