Can I paint my lawn?

Question

During a drought a few years back it was illegal to water your lawn. I remember something about someone spray painting their dead lawn to make it look green. I know it sounds silly, but it looked great.

Do you know what kind of paint it is that can be used this way? Where can I get it?

Answer 1

Yeah, they used to do that in Tucson, Arizona during the winter.  

It does look better than dead grass.    As the other responder noted, it's a special dye.   Try searching for "lawn dye".

You sound like you want a temporary fix for a party try this it is inexpensive.

Argo corn starch and green finger paint ,

the starch in volume quanties can be bought thur a resturant supply house,

the green finger paint can be bought in gallon can from an art suppy store

mix in a five gallon bucket  

rent a power washer with a separate suction feed thur the sprayer like a cup automotive paint sprayer get a stick of rebar iron about five foot long form a large construction site grind  down one end so that end fits in your hand drill bend the rebar till you have a good stirer hhave a friend stir as you power spray your lawn you can add a couple cups of flower to the corn starch for added density, saw this done once forty years ago the yard needed a gully washer of a rain but after that it looked normal again.

This is not a long term solution.
