That sounds like some amazing paints. If the paint kind of lasts longer than the fibre.... well that's just amazing!
Just googled it, Tri-Chem have a website in the UK but only mail order, no online shop. I hadn't come across them before, do you happen to know why they don't seem to be around much? (I'm kind of assuming probably more difficult to apply or more toxic than modern fabric paints like setacolor or acrylics with medium, but what do I know...)
