I have a 20" diameter frame drum with a removable lambskin head that I'd like to paint in black, red, and possibly white, with roughly 2cm-scale features. What kind of paint should I use? I don't know how the leather has been treated, but it's natural color and fairly rough to the touch (closer to a suede jacket than a boot or a snare drum, but less nubbly.) The drumhead flexes a lot when in use.

I'm happy to spend many tens of dollars on this, but would prefer not to spend hundreds. In case it's useful, I have access to compressed gasses, fume hoods, heating tools, and precision stencil making. I have no paint tools and no free-hand artistic talent. I'm also happy to hire someone - but am not sure who what would be.

So far my search attempts have turned up many techniques that seem to apply to much slicker and less flexible materials or involve dipping things whole into vats of dye.
