Hey I'm new to trapping was wondering if I can just paint predator traps(for yotes)instead of rusting than dyeing them?

Thanks alot!

I spray paint all my traps. If they get roughed up during the season they get a new coat in the spring.

What Aix said and do it outside and with a little wind. Keep you nose AWAY from the acetone as it is powerful and dangerous.

Yeah I don't want my lungs to turn into juice

yes, it just takes a few months for them to air out

Ok it seems alot easier than rusting dyeing and waxing

Ttt

Has anybody used the spray on bedliner stuff for traps, or the brush on bedliner to dip traps?

Are you waxing over the paint? How are you getting it off if you decide you don't like it? I've always been a dye and wax guy, but I'm considering giving this a try

Look into ZRC (A cold zinc coating) the State Trappers were working with that years ago never did hear how it worked out!

I don't know I've never dyed and waxed or painted but seems alot easier to me than rusting dyeing and waxing

I am not a longliner or a predator trapper, but all I have ever done to my traps is dye them before season. I still have traps from the 60s that are in good shape. To me it is just part of the tradition, something about painting my traps just doesnt seem right, but thats just me.

Painting them lasts much longer than dying and waxing. I plan to paint every one of mine that that isn't already.

Ok thank y'all for the imput

It works just fine and takes much less effort.

Ok thanks
