Default Painting a Sun Shade

I just bought a custom fitted sun shade for my Firebird.

Will it work / look good and last if I take a cutout of the Firebird logo and spray paint it on there? What paint would you use? Thanks

i think it would look better if you had a firebird logo cut out of like .25" foam and glued on. then have material laid over top of it. but if you want to do some sort of paint i would get the fabric dye in an aerosol can.

X2 on the foam/fabric. I dont think the paint will hold up very long being folded up and crinkled all the time.
