5219 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Does anybody have a suggestion for what type of paint or coating would hold up well on a battery box under the floor of my 1940 LaSalle? Appearance is a secondary consideration because the box is not visible. I am looking for something that can stand up to the acidic area around the battery. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friartuck Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Suggest a rubberized coating. I have used this product from Eastwood: http://www.eastwood.com/paintable-rubberized-undercoat.html An alternative is the pick up truck bed liner coating. Eastwood offers several brands. POR offers a quart and gallon size bed liner coating: http://www.por15.com/POR-15-OEM-Bed-Liner-_p_105.html. A more economical way maybe to visit to the local bed liner spray shop and perhaps they'll sell you a pint from their barrel or have them spray it.

Bhigdog Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've seen many OEM rubberized battery hold down parts peeling and oozing corrosion under the coating.........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillP Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 On one of my cars, I used a plastic battery box with lid (it has a vent hole). I think it was for a marine application. After several years the battery is in perfectly clean condition, so much so that I was surprised. There was zero corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
