Paint brand is Jacquard.
The version I recommend is called NeOpaque. It is ultra pigmented and therefore non-see-through, so one coat usually covers blacks completely.
The Textile version is for cloth and has the pigment consistency of most normal acrylic based paints. It is slightly see-through and you'll need several coats to cover blacks.
The Lumiere version is shiny like metal and pearls. It is relatively well pigmented and covers blacks well, but may need more than two coats.
You can mix any of these paints with each other or with extender (a clear medium used to 'thin out' or 'make more of' the paints with out compromising the pigment too much.)
Extender works extremely well with NeOpaque and relatively well with Lumiere. I do not recommend its use on Jacquard Textile paint (it becomes too see-through for most uses).
Example:
These are the black leather gloves that I used NeOpaque Red on. I only had to use one coat of the paint to achieve uniformity. I painted on another coat to give it a slightly more 3-D look. The paint is completely flexible, opaque, and looks super awesome and professional.
Where to Buy Jacquard?
I get this paint at Jo-Anns at Willowbrook in Houston (only that Jo-Anns in Houston has it), and I don't know where else outside of that in the real world to get it. So, you'll probably have to call around at Hobby and craft stores to see if any of them carry it, OR get it on the internet. It should cost anywhere from $5 to $6 for a 2.25 fl oz jar (that sounds like a little bit, but it lasts forever!).
