That'll be a short-lived covering. Parachute nylon isn't UV resistant much at all, and will break down rather quickly under the beating the sun can give it. You would have to store it inside to get any longevity from it, even with UV resistant coatings.
Now, you could look into some of the exterior fabrics that are use in the home built airplane community. Those are geared toward exactly the needs that a very lightweight teardrop would also have.
Look at "Aircraft Spruce and Specialty", for starters. You might even have a different supplier on your continent. (assuming Australia.)
