Would you use Por-15 on this..., ...or how else would you clean it up? |

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) |

If it is coated badly and you paint it, it will come back. Rust never sleeps, so you will find out eventually. Peace of mind might be a treatment, not a coating that will fail and then top coat. I am going to use a product called SEM rust mort, great name. You might also add this to your monthly maint list to keep an eye on it.
