I just recently bought my 92' and in the restoration process noticed a lot of battery acid on and underneath the battery box (from a previous battery, the current battery is not leaking and is in good shape). I cleaned all the acid off as best as I could and painted with PPG factory paint. That was a week ago, today I noticed the acid was returning and growing under the new paint, crap! Any ideas on how I can get rid of it for good? What to spray it with?

Thanks...Alex

 

baking soda... mix lightly with water... the soda will nutrilize the acid.. after dry do like normal paint job..

 

B 4 painting again,, I'd suggest a galvanizing (zinc or zinc rich) primer (best stuff if from a welding supplier but, krylon zinc rich works almost as well). www.eastwoodcompany.com sells battery mats that also help combat this problem.

The long term effects are seen on most 67-72 chevy trucks, the fender corners on a majority are gone because of this which is why a patch panel is only made for the passenger side.
