So after 40+ coons so far this season between my daughter and myself trapping........all of my dp's will be painted white before next season. Always set out our dp's in pairs mostly and a couple of times in sets of three. Have out some white or brown Z Traps, and several Lil Griz which are a powder coat green/light silver color. We made sure that at least one in the group was a white one. The majority of the time we'd catch two coons at each location, so it's impossible to tell which trap got hit first without a cam..........but whenever we had a single catch at a location, the coon was always in a white one.
