Grass Paint Concentrate (500-1,000 sq ft) - for Dormant, Patchy or Faded Lawn - Lush Green Turf Colorant (32 fl oz)

I do a lot of spot spraying in our yards using herbicides, and I've found that the as-purchased spray wands that come with the common one gallon herbicide containers quickly clog, and the spray pattern quickly deteriorates as the typical AA Alkaline batteries lose charge. My current approach, which I've been successfully using for over a year, is based on adapting a Li-ion battery-powered spray wand (from Tovia on Amazon) for use with the standard 1 gallon insecticide/herbicide containers with 38-400 neck finish (cap thread). By having a dedicated container for each chemical, I avoid the problem of cleaning the spray container at the end of each job. To prevent clogging, I use a custom-built large-area screen filter on the wand-tube's inlet that is positioned at the bottom of the 1-gal container and use a custom-built funnel with integral 40-mesh strainer when filling the 1-gal container (see photos).This December I decided to green up my 700 ft2 dormant-looking lawn for the holiday season using a quart of the Lawn Star Grass Paint Concentrate (diluted 1 cup per gallon of water) with my electric-wand sprayer setup. For my dedicated green-spray container I purchased from Amazon a Mountain West's 1 Gallon HDPE f-style container with 38-400 neck finish and filled it with water and a cup of Lawn Star grass paint. As others have noted, it's a good thing I used my filter funnel, as the paint concentrate was quite liquid (no gel as some others have noted), but was filled with a lot of what looked like small dried paint shards that would quickly plug a sprayer (see photo). With my filter and strainer precautions, I had no plugging issues at all in my application. The battery-powered spray wand with Li-ion rechargeable battery worked great to apply the grass paint...a vast improvement over the everyday spray wands and pump-up sprayers.Since my lawn is surrounded by cement patio on two sides, I considered various alternatives to keeping the paint off the patio. In the end, I found that the spay wand was quite easy to control with only inches of overspray, so I wet just a foot-wide boarder of the patio with a sprinkler can to prevent any small overshoots from drying, and at the same time keeping the added water off the lawn. Then, I quickly washed any overspray incidents away with the sprinkler-can as soon as they occurred (only a few, and typically only a inch or so wide).I was nervous about the amount of paint to use for my pretty dormant-looking lawn, so I started by scalping it using my mower's lowest setting and then raked the driest areas pretty thoroughly to remove excess thatch. When I started applying, I though I was going to need more than four cups of concentrate for my lawn, but after adjusting the wand for the best spray pattern, I ended up using just 2 1/2 cups of concentrate...and the lawn looks great with great grass-looking color (see photo).At the end of spraying, I quickly emersed the spray-wand inlet into a 1 gallon tank of wash water and ran the sprayer for a few minutes to thoroughly wash it out. What I found is that the spray and concentrate dry almost immediately and stick tenaciously, so any cleanup of preparation aids (cups, funnels, preparation surfaces, etc) needs to occur immediately! I wore old painting clothes and covered pre surfaces with plastic...which worked well.In the end, a great looking lawn for Christmas and no paint spills...highly recommended.

I live in Las Vegas, not much rain and grass doesn't grow well. Also had expensive water line repair, so I decided to research all the lawn color products amd just cut the water off completely. Now Ill save $ on water as well as lawn care $. I decided on this brand from the review pictures, as this one had the best color IMO. It was shipped fast! I also bought a sprayer.As you can see from my before and after pics, it came out awesome. It was super easy to use. I'm very happy with everything. I used 2x the amount of paint per gallon to get a thick coat, but thats because of my situation. I don't know how long the color will remain. I'll update in a couple months, or sooner when I have to re-paint.The sprayer jammed up by the time I finished, the lawn. So make sure you clean the sprayer completely after each use..Next, I'm going to spray my back yard which has just dirt and rocks. I'd rather look at green than ugly brown. If possible, I'll upload the results when I'm done with that project. I tried a small area and it's a big improvement. See pic.

I purchased this product because the homeowners association complained about my dying grass and threatened fines if it was not fixed in two weeks. Due to temperatures consistently over 100 degrees and watering restrictions, the grass was not going to get healthy and green in two weeks with watering and fertilizer alone. My lawn area is approx. 250 sq ft. After reading other reviews and wanting to be sure I had enough product I purchased the 32 fl oz container of Lawn Star Grass Paint that states it covers 1,000 sq ft. I followed the direction written on the the product container for coverage for dead/dormant grass 1 part paint 10 part water. I wanted very thorough coverage and I ended up needing to make the mixture twice to cover my lawn. I used about half the container so I feel the stated 1,000 sq ft coverage is accurate. The process took less than 30 minutes for my small lawn area. The paint mixture did not clog my sprayer. The paint turns whatever it touches green so wear gloves and old shoes, don't drip, and cover your hardscaping. When I stepped on the wet paint on the lawn I left green footprints behind me. After the paint was set and dried it did not come up and there were no more footprints. Also, anywhere the grass had died away completely and there was just dirt the green paint looked strange on the dirt but you have to get pretty close to the lawn to notice. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because the final green color does not match the natural green grass color in my neighborhood. The natural grass in my area is a yellow-green color. The color of the paint was a blue-green. It means the grass looks lush but slightly artificial. Overall, The product worked like I expected, I am pleased with the results, I would purchase this product again, and I would recommend this product to others.
