Best Paint for Battery Compartment?
After 10 years of inattention, I'm in the process of restoring the battery compartment in our coach. It has two Kwikee slide trays for the 4 coach and 2 engine batteries. The slides are badly corroded...

I redid my battery box last year. First I cleaned it with baking soda several times. Then, I used the POR-15 cleaner, then the paint. After a few months, the POR-15 was peeling up. I sanded it real good put Rustoleum on it then found a plastic battery tray that held the batteries and, no more problems. Don't know what happened with the POR-15 but it was terrible would never use again.
I have things that are coated with POR-15 that have lasted over 15 years, still looks like it did when they were coated. If it peeled off it didn't bond. If it didn't bond it wasn't clean well enough. Not that you did anything wrong, but the stuff will stick when the surface is good enough to let it work.
