Cerakote

They're coating guns and even expensive flashlights with the stuff. It seems almost indestructible and is supposed to be rust-proof.

Anyone know about the process for applying it? Could it be used as a trap coating?

Do a search and there are numerous videos on the process of applying it. I would think it would work well on a trap. Seems durable and scentless.

A search showed it is sprayed on. Here is a kit they sell.
This kit includes:
(6) 4oz tester bottles in your choice of colors with hardener – Each tester is enough to coat 4 to 5 20oz tumblers.
(1) 50ML graduated cylinder for measuring
Training Manual
(1) In-cup strainer in your choice of size
(1) IWATA LPH80 Spray Gun
(1) Wash bottle

And they do not recommend coating springs due to the cure temp/time.

Also not sure many folks would want to pay for the traps with Cerakote on them. Not a cheap process.

I know Scuba has used it on guns. Maybe he has tried it on traps

i hope to get a rifle done soon maybe i'll take a trap and see what the guy would charge

I had a few of my rifle scopes coated with the product. I would think springs should be fine.

Why coat an aluminum scope?

Because it was silver. Too flashy in the dark timber.
