We have confirmation from Resene that they will be happy to supply us

Great start. Well done everyone.

Dear Alexandra,

Thanks for your sponsorship request.

We love the idea you have suggested but have had some experience
painting umbrellas with paint for a label shoot and the weight of the
paint tends to weigh the umbrella fabric down. We would be more than
happy to supply you with the paint you need for the project but
perhaps it would be best for us to supply you some to sample first to
see whether it works in the way you intend it to, especially when the
umbrella is fully open and also when it is closed and painted surfaces
are rubbing up against each other.?

In terms of product, we would recommend you use a waterborne enamel,
which will have less tendency to block than a normal waterborne
paint.

If you would like to try a sample please let me know by return email
and we can arrange these for you. It might be best to trial a colour
of colours to see if that also has an effect.

Regards

Karen
