I've heard it said that you can colour canvas by spraying it with a few coats of very diluted latex paint, letting it dry between coats. I've never tried it but I'd try it on a small piece first to see what happens. The person who told me this said it doesn't go stiff if you do it right.
When I was fixing my Cletrac M2 I got O D canvas from Canadian Tarpaulin Supply in Saskatoon. They had it in stock.
