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 and the compartment walls are badly rusted.

I've removed the batteries and trays and plan to rebuild one and replace the other. Now I'm cleaning, wire brushing and preparing to repaint the compartment walls.

I'd like to locate a two part Urethane or Epoxy paint but other than garage floor paint in expensive gallon cans, the best I can find is Rustoleum Epoxy Appliance paint. Any suggestions?

First use a baking soda solution to completely neutralize any acid that got in to the compartment. Then use the proper epoxy primer. Afterwards I would use a paint specifically formulated for battery compartments. Acid proof paint
