I want to paint on clothing, what is the best brand of paint to do so?

The most durable paint, if you know the brand maybe I can buy it online?I want to paint on clothing, what is the best brand of paint to do so?
I have painted t-shirts and sweatshirts. I use Folk Art acrylic fabric paint. I mix fabric medium with the paint on the palette. It will last for years. I hang dry my handpainted clothing though. If you put it in the dryer, it will cause the paint to dry and flake. If you must put it in the dryer, dry on the lowest temp. and turn it inside out so the paint doesn't come into contact with the hot sides of the dryer, which will also cause peeling.I want to paint on clothing, what is the best brand of paint to do so?
I don't know a brand per se' but I suggest you go to a major art supply store like Michaels. I know they have fabric paint and they carry good brands. You might want to ask a clerk what she/he recommends.
Dont use spray paint. the shirt was probably painted with airbrush. but airbrushes are exspensive, and you probably dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on this. a good fabric paint is jacquard dye-na-flow.
my uncle got his jacket professionally spray painted a picture of my aunts face who passed in 2000 and it looks just like her. so use spray paint.
