Bass pans for FN/CN

Ok so today we got our bass pans for our DCN thanks to my hubby he also bought us 4 new water bottles that are the kind I wanted cause the new boys have one and it doesn't leak! they were a bit expensive at 13 bucks a piece! anyway...back to what I was asking haha so the pans are metal and all the ones I have seen in pictures are painted. My question is, do I have to paint them? Is that part of them not rusting and becoming yucky or do people just do it for looks?

I'm interested to know the answer to this as well. I just got my bass pan and if I need to paint it it'd be nice to know. it would also look pretty. If it should he painted what kind of paint should I use?

Yes, if you don't seal them with rustoleum they will corrode as urine eats into the metal. That's the main reason I never bought any; it takes weeks for the rustoleum to cure properly.

A quick side note, for my CN, instead of buying bass pans (because I don't have a budget for it right now ) I made pans out of coroplast. They're light, slightly flexible since they're made of plastic, which I think makes them easier to take in and out of the cage, and super easy to clean and wipe down. I decorated the outside with purple zebra duct tape because I thought it was fun

I can't find any place local that has it....So I am stuck with the pans...anything I have found online for it is in bulk so it is more expensive than the pans.

I got mine at Lowes, it's in the sign section. I'm sure Home Depot or any other hardware store would have it too

Are they actually called bass pans or do you mean base pans?

Bass is the company that makes them XD so they are Bass base pans.

I will have to find that section myself as I have asked at the lowe's and got told they didn't have it but the people who work there aren't the brightest crayons in the box if you know what I mean lol. Tomorrow I will go back on the hunt cause I still need it for the boys DCN.
