Has anyone ever try the paint from tractor supply or rural king, It's called majic. This paint is oil base, rural king has it for $12.00 a gallon.

Sorry. Can’t help you. I’ve switched to flat black spray paint. Can get 1-2 dozen bodygrips (220 and smaller) per can and about a dozen #3 coils per can. After a couple days, I dip twice in Full Metal Jacket and let dry. It’s fast, cheap and extremely durable to prep traps this way from my experience.

It's made by Majestic Paint Corporation an old Ohio company.

Smitty, I've painted a couple trucks and a tractor with the enamel. I don't understand any reason to paint traps so never have.
I have never used the latex or acrylic paints they make.

Do you prime your traps first or do you add primer with the paint?
