Brain fade so need help.
Installing new battery tray/support ......But trying to figure how I get paint everywhere as once in it blocks the surfaces in several places. Do I paint it then repaint or what.
I know this is simple but evading me.
Thanks

I doubt that is true , meaning first off your part should be finished in an powder coated finish or an epoxy sealer like dp50 by ppg or Valspar direct to metal is also a good one or a rust barrier paint ( por 15)
then you weld it in ,recoat with por 15 if chosen, after its in any part you can see can be painted by a good painter . and the way I would paint is this way
once its ready to spray it can be done 2 ways it can be sprayed wet on wet meaning you seal it with dp or Valspar then 1/2 later with no sanding you paint with a good urethane done... and if you prep right looks awesome( new car quality)
or
spray a direct to metal primer like Valspar reduced a different way so its a primer block it reprime and spray urethane ( show quality)
just my 2 cents
