those traps and snares are painted that color so that any woodbe thief coming across them would think"only an amateur would paint stuff that crappy color , so them traps and snares arn,t worth nicking" clever bloke that woodga dude

Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know what paint would be best for my galvanised larsen? My brother sells car paints etc and could do me any colour imaginable but he reckons I would have to do something (electrify?) to it so the paint sticks???

Cheers, gnipper

I'd have thought any car spray paint would of done the trick I've had no bother painting over galvanised stuff, the mesh of the dog run is galv, and i painted over that no bother.

vauxhaul leaf green is good and if your brother is mixing it for you he could make it a matt finish which would be good

Any black matt paint from a spray can would do - black makes the mesh invisible, see?
