It would be particularly exciting to mix their fluorescent yellow and their fluorescent green for your canopy, because the color will seem to glow in sunshine or under a black light.
See the Dharma site's fabric paints page. Since you're in Canada, you'll probably find it more convenient to buy your dyes or fabric paints from a Canadian source. G and S Dye is a good dye retailer in Toronto, and they do mail-order. They now carry iDye Poly, and they also sell a pigment dye system. Call or email them to ask whether their pigment system would be suitable for your thin sheer polyester and how they would recommend you use it.
Try the spray on some similar fabrics first. The canopy isn't plastic. The canopy is flexible, and anything you do to it must also be flexible. Paint would probably turn brittle and you would have an irreversible mess on your hands. Dye is flexible, but the canopy fabric is repelling, not absorptive. I don't see it as the solution to your dilemma.
Try rubbing some lemon juice and salt into the spots, then letting the sun shine on it for a few hours. That should remove the spots. Get a number off the can and call the paintmakers and ask them what they think about painting a canopy.
They'll give you the "we're not responsible" speech, but they also might give you some straight answers. If your EZ Up canopy is like mine, the fabric is probably nylon.
You might want to try some Tilex spray on the stains, but like the other poster said, it could be worthwhile to contact the company and see what they say first. We design and sew kites for pleasure; kites are generally made from rip-stop nylon - a slightly different type but nylon nonetheless.
Design Master floral sprays are a colored dye in an aerosal can. They are meant to add a splash of color to a fresh or "silk" nylon flower. We have used these sprays with great success on nylon kite fabric. It is permanent and can be layered for color grading red and yellow makes orange, etc If the discoloration is just along an edge, you could just do the edges all around.
I am not sure it would be a good follow-up to the Tilex though so you may have to choose! It is noxiously smelly and should always be used outdoors or in a place with very good ventilation; or you should wear a respirator-type mask.
It is readily available, in a host of colors, at craft stores such as Michaels. Good luck! Moving into a Studio - 12 ft ceilings! House is overwhelmed by landscaping. Crowspice, i can't thank you enough! This is more of what i had in mind, and i will give it a try. Place your canopy net in the dryer or on a clothesline in the sun. Hang the net over your bed once it is completely dry. Hanging it wet can cause dripping and bleeding of color onto your sheets, even after rinsing.

By Sharin Griffin Updated September 26, Once dissolved, strain the dye solution through nylon and pour it into a separate container.
For dark coloration, also dissolve 2 tbsp. Rinse and fill the large pot with fresh water, then heat the water to degrees F. Stir with the stainless steel or wood stirrer. Place the canvas back into the water, bring the water to a boil, then leave the canvas to simmer. Bring another large pot of water to a boil in the meantime. After 30 to 40 minutes, transfer the canvas from the dye water to the clean boiling water.
