APPLICATION GUIDES & FIELD RESOURCES

Everything you need to apply ColorWRX correctly and achieve consistent professional results.

HOW TO APPLY COLORWRX TURF COLORANT

• Mow lawn if grass is actively growing.

• Blow or remove leaves and debris.

• Wet surrounding concrete, stone, and hardscapes to simplify cleanup.

• Keep people and pets off turf during application.

• 8 oz ColorWRX GREEN per 1 gallon of water.


Optional: Add 3–5 oz ColorWRX CLEAR per gallon to improve adhesion and durability.


Mixing Method:

1. Fill sprayer halfway with water.

2. Add ColorWRX GREEN.

3. Add ColorWRX CLEAR (if desired).

4. Fill remaining water.

5. Mix thoroughly.

• Start at the edge of the turf and work your way in. This prevents overspray on hardscapes and helps avoid painting yourself into a corner.

• Spray from 12–18 inches above turf.

• Use a consistent side‑to‑side motion.

• Apply in a cross‑hatch pattern for even coverage.

• Maintain a consistent walking speed.

• 1 gallon of mixed solution covers approximately 300–500 sq ft.

• Coverage depends on turf density, dormancy level, and application rate.

• Allow lawn to dry before foot traffic.

• Avoid irrigation for several hours.

• Color typically lasts 3–5 weeks depending on mowing and growth.

HOW TO APPLY COLORWRX MULCH COLORANT

• Blow debris from mulch beds.

• Remove leaves, sticks, or loose debris.

• Wet surrounding concrete, stone, and hardscapes to simplify cleanup.

• 8 oz ColorWRX MULCH COLORANT per 1 gallon of water.


Optional: Add 3–5 oz ColorWRX CLEAR per gallon to improve adhesion and durability.


Mixing Method:

1. Fill sprayer halfway with water.

2. Add ColorWRX MULCH COLORANT.

3. Add ColorWRX CLEAR (if desired).

4. Fill remaining water.

5. Mix thoroughly.

• Hold sprayer 12–18 inches above surface.

• Apply in even overlapping passes.

• Spray across the mulch surface evenly.

• Maintain a consistent walking speed.

• 1 gallon of mixed solution covers approximately 300–500 sq ft.

• Coverage depends on mulch type, fading level, and mulch depth.

• Allow mulch to dry before irrigation.

• Color restoration lasts through the season.

COMMON APPLICATION MISTAKES

Applying to wet grass or mulch

Dilutes product and reduces adhesion.

Using too much product

Can lead to over‑saturation, streaking, and transfer.

Not starting at the edge

Increases overspray risk and can trap you in the area.

Spraying in windy conditions

Causes overspray on hardscapes, personal property, and plants.

Skipping cross‑hatch pattern

Leads to uneven color and patchy results.

Irrigating too soon

Wait several hours after application.

Not cleaning equipment

Can cause clogs and shorten equipment life.

CLEANING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Rinse tank, hose, wand, and nozzle with clean water.

Fill tank halfway with clean water and spray until empty.

Remove and clean nozzle and filters separately.

Allow equipment to dry completely before storing.

Proper cleaning keeps your equipment in top condition and prevents buildup that can affect future applications.
