You have a few options when it comes to painting vinyl with the design you referenced:
1). You could use a spray paint from a hardware store formulated for painting plastics. The issue you'll encounter is that if the fabric stretches the paint will crack. You'll also need to air out the material for quite a long time to get rid of the paint smell.
2). You could screen print the design onto the material. There are specialized inks for screen printing that have elasticity and would stretch with the material. The problem is that this option would be costly and take the most time and effort.
3). You could try to use a permanent sharpie in grey ink and trace the lines. The ink is probably thin enough that it would probably hold up even if the material stretches some.
Good luck with your project - be sure to post images here if you find a good solution!
