Painting Awning For Customer, What paint?

I've searched and found lots of different answers to this. The awning is a heavy vinyl material. It's in good shape. The customer is looking for 3-5 years before he is ready to replace it.

All of the newer answers suggest latex paint, older answers are saying NAZDAR ink thinned. The NAZDAR ink is about 4 times as expensive and I'll need about 4 gallons to do this.

Is latex appropriate for this project?

Thank you.

In my recent years, vinyl banners are not paintable anymore. If you prime it with a paint receptive undercoat, then perhaps, but I would imagine it would still hafta be an oil-based paint. Most of the properties in vinyl awnings will repel latex in an instant.

Fellers used to sell it. It was called Aquacoat..... Tri Coat or something like that. We don't paint them anymore, because we have several printers and a flatbed for that stuff now. To paint an awning on site, we tell them to either start over or go elsewhere. We don't wanna be involved in possible disasters.
