I've confirmed that this crap on the battery tray is not a fiberglass patch. PO obviously treated it with something as a preventative measure. HH is also solid, inside and under. The car is virtually rust-free.
I'm using a solvent to get the crap off the side wall and generally clean this area up the best possible (it's coming off - nice job, Stevie Wonder!). But the gunk on the tray is there to stay. Also, the acid corrosion on the side needs addressed (car sat for 8-9 years and battery seemingly "discharged"...thankfully, in a dry garage). So...I'm thinking of a fresh coat of Por-15 or similar on the tray and small "patch" over the surface rust on the sidewall, just to clean the whole area up. Is this sacrilege...or a decent solution short of a total tear-out and repainting (not gonna happen anytime soon)? Thanks...and hope you all had a great holiday. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I don’t understand the allure of POR-15. If you’re going to go through all the proper steps for POR-15 you might as well just clean it up and paint it correctly.
I suggest the following… 1. Wire wheel all the rust 2. Treat rust with Ospho 3. Sand 4. Paint with epoxy primer. You can get a two part epoxy in a single use can. $25 5. Paint with the correct color from a touch up can. Approximately $40 from various online suppliers. Order based on your color code. |

Otherwise it would have eaten through at some point. I think it's a reaction to whatever coating the PO used. |
