Anyone have good long-term results with any anti-corrosion products for steel battery trays?
I have an electric side by side with 8 large lead-acid batteries. The batteries sit on a poly tray, but that in turn sits on a steel tray which is beginning to corrode in spots. I've pulled one of them out and angle grinder wire brushed it down to partially bare metal, partially solid original paint.
Bed-liner?
Undercoating?
"Flex-Seal" rubber stuff?
Powder coat?
POR-15?
I've ruled out commercially-applied bed-liner because the local guys want about $250+. Rattle cans would work good, at least to be able to economically apply. Abrasion should not be a problem since the batteries are pretty solidly tied down. I will use battery mats between them and the poly tray when I reinstall to hopefully help keep things cleaner, dryer, and tighter.
