PlushColor

Application Instructions

Description and Usage: PlushColor is a non-fading, weather-proof, 100% acrylic coating for use on plant mix asphalt,

emulsified asphalt and suitable concrete surfaces. PlushColor provides a tough, durable surface of uniform texture that

remains flexible. PlushColor was specifically designed for use on outdoor and indoor tennis courts, basketball courts, high

traffic recreational areas and various other usages. Unlike other acrylic surfacing systems, each coat of PlushColor, is fully

pigmented, resulting in richer, longer lasting, in-depth color.

Coverage: Coverage will depend upon the porosity of the surface to which the PlushColor is applied. Applying Plush Acrylic

Resurfacer prior to PlushColor will improve the coverage rate.

Drying Time: 90 minutes under optimum conditions. Humidity, surface temperature and ambient temp affects drying time.

Suggested Equipment:

 Empty pail for mixing

 Sand (80-100 mesh – available at most Supply Houses – (Play sand WILL NOT work).

 Water

 Drill mixer bit

 Rubber squeegee

Mix Design: Pour half of PlushColor in empty pail. Add the recommended amount of sand and water to each half. Use drill

mixing bit or other mixing device to ensure all three components are mixed fully. Each pail should be mixed consistently to

achieve a uniformed color finish.

Note: The amount of sand and water may be slightly adjusted to achieve the results desired. Each surface is different,

some require more sand, less sand, more water, less water, etc.

Application Methods: PlushColor should be applied using a 24" to 48" long, flexible, 50 to 70 durometer, rubber squeegee

of good quality and in good condition. 2 coats recommended for an even, long lasting finish. Have your pails mixed ahead

of time. Each application must thoroughly dry before application of second coat. On a two-tone color court, the playing

area (inside area) is coated first (Apply a sheet of roofing paper along baseline to give you room to work with the excess

paint when you have finished a coat – secure it with masking tape). Pour a bead across the width of the playing area and

using squeegee pull the material from side to side. Slightly overlap each pass and do not let the bead run out (to prevent

marks). When finished with a coat use a shovel and pail to scoop up any excess paint. Once first coat has dried completely

you can apply the second coat. Once that coat has fully dried you are ready to coat the outside playing area (out of bounds

area). Snap a fresh chalk line around the perimeter of the playing area so you will have a good guide when applying the

PlushColor. Carefully (slowly) apply the color 1 inch into the playing area (yes, going over the chalk line). The lines are 2”

wide so you will have room at the overlap. Remember to work continuously without stopping and remember that 2 coats is necessary for the out of bounds area as well. Once second coat has fully dried you are ready to apply the line paint. Use 3” masking tape on both sides of the 2” line to give you a good border. Use a paint brush to apply the line paint. 2 coats is not necessary but 2 coats will give you a must longer life to the lines.

Cobertura: la cobertura dependerá de la porosidad de la superficie a la que esté el PlushColor. La aplicación del resurfaceador de acrílico Plush antes de PlushColor mejorará la tasa de cobertura. Tiempo de secado: 90 minutos en condiciones óptimas. La humedad, la temperatura de la superficie y la temperatura ambiente afectarán el proceso de secado. Equipo sugerido • cubo vacío para mezclar • Arena (malla 80-100 - disponible en la mayoría de las casas de suministros - (arena de juego NO funcionará).

primera esté seca antes de aplicar la segunda capa. Toda la superficie debe ser revisada en busca de crestas e imperfecciones después de cada capa de relleno, raspada y limpiada de todos los residuos sueltos. Se debe tener cuidado para asegurar una textura suave y uniforme, libre de crestas y marcas de herramientas, ya que la capa final no debe ser raspada. Permita 24 horas antes de usar el tribunal.
