Questions & Answers Grass Pigment or Grass Paint? When to Use Each

When considering whether to use a grass pigment or grass paint, consider the current color of the grass. Pigments are generally applied to growing turf while paints are used on turf in some degree of dormancy. A grass pigment is used on actively growing green grass. If the grass is brown, dormant and/or no longer actively growing, then a paint is preferred. However, Endurant paints, including the most popular in the line, Endurant Premium, PR and Fairway may be used on any grass at any time.

Questions & Answers Can Pesticides, Fertilizers or Other Products Be Added to Endurant?

Mixing Endurant with other chemicals is generally safe. However, it is important to contact the supplier of the products and/or perform a jar test. Consider too where you want the other products to end up. Endurant turf colorants need to remain on the leaf blade for optimal results. Do not water-in Endurant landscape colorants. Instead, Endurant needs to dry fully on the leaf blade or the surface of plants, trees, mulch or whatever is being colored. So, any products mixed with Endurant should probably be a foliar. In conclusion, mixing Endurant with other chemicals is often safe, but jar tests, checking with manufacturers and following all application instructions is important when using any chemical or material.

Questions & Answers Will Weather Affect Endurant Results?

Will weather affect Endurant? Minimally. Once colorants are dried and cured, weather has minimal affects on Endurant turf colorants. You may apply Endurant turf colorants when frost, dew or a very small amount of moisture is on the grass blades. This may actually increase uniformity of color application. But it is not necessary. If a heavy rain were to come prior to Endurant drying, that could cause the paint to wash off. Generally, just allow grass to dry for 8 hours before a rain and up to 24 hours before a heavy rain. Endurant is dry to the touch in most cases within an hour.
