I like to use rust oleum truck bed coating for my beaver footholds. One can does about a dozen large traps. Quick and easy.

I've done this before. If you know anyone that does body work you might be able to get them to spray paint your traps. A 12 pack goes along ways.

It looks good.I probably would have gapped the jaws open with a nail or screw but maybe you did that.Is it durable as it looks?

I tried this a few years ago and to me it holds up about the same as the Rust-Oleum rusty metal primer and acetone dip, I honestly think that a couple light coats of the dip holds up better.

Just spray, after a tumble. Ready to go the next day.
I think the bed coating holds up better than paint. I like that it is quick and easy, less mess.

I use leghold beaver traps ice out to ice up,about 8 months of the year.
