Paper!
This paper works great for me, and I have put multiple thick layers of acrylic paint on it! It is definitely thick enough!
Lowe's 35-in x 140-ft Builder's paper
I have yet to try this, however, in my many days of banner research, I have heard this is one of the best papers. It does not wrinkle; it is so thick. Even when painting a thick coat on it, or rolling it up for transport, it seems to bounce back good...
