Vinegar will remove rust, but I don't know If it will remove paint and dip. Get some type of flat pan where you can submerge the trap and fill with vinegar. If it works, make sure you rinse the traps well. Or you could use one of those hand held torches and burn it off. Just don't get the traps to hot. Or you could buy some of that liquid Paint stripper and see if that works. Good luck

Solvent. Paint thinner works well, acetone works better. Soak for a short time, and a wire brush helps. Once clean, just hang to air out. The solvent will evaporate.
Just doing what I want now.
