The trap on the left looks perfect for dye and wax. Maybe but it does look like it has not been neutralized.If not,you have trouble.

I use to do that rusting and dyeing then waxing thing. Then I figured why rust a trap If your just going to remove the rust with a dye bath then cover the dye with wax. So with new canine traps I remove the factory oil and wax. After the season Is over I power wash and then wax. Every other trap I just dip In latex paint.

I used to do the same here, but now I live in Nevada and my canine traps double as exposed bobcat set traps so dying will be necessary
