    Question Battery tray paint??.

     



    I got a pick and pull battery tray for Rufus.It's in decent shape and what I found was it is common to see them rotten out.I plan on to use a cup wire brush to clean it up and wanted to ask you guys what you would suggest to use in a rattle can paint??.

    Hey Gary............. I removed the battry tray from the "Smilie" van, sandblasted it and then coated it with POR 15. It's holding up pretty good.

    I like to put down 4 pieces of thin sheet rubber, something the thickness of an old inner tube. I cut them into 4 strips and use them to sit the battery down. It gives the battery a cushion and helps keep the battery from scratching the painted surface.

    Agree with POR 15. It is impervious to battery acid, brake fluid, and almost everything else.
