JoeD 24 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I dunno if it would work or not but what about a cammo net, you can pick them up quite cheap or even just stick loose foliage on them to blend it in a bit. Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 anything thats galvanised needs treating with mordant solultion prior to painting then zinc phosphate primer once thats done pretty much any oil based paint will go on it ... Quote Link to post
akton 15 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks for the tips,One of my mates is a spark ,he said try paint called GALVAFROID after 1 application,you can paint with any oil based paint. so for anyone else who wants to paint their new traps use GALVAFROID and then any oil based paint on top will try and post some before and after pics this week Quote Link to post
