Expensive?  It cost me only $30.00 to have my racks sandblasted and powder
coated.  (RPC custom powder coating, Claremore, OK.)

There were entire chassis of motorcycles undergoing restoration and race
cars there.  Also boxes of parts from some classic undergoing restoration.
Interestingly, they also do mailboxes.

Subject: Rusty battery racks


Hello,

I've bought a conversion (1984 VW Rabbit, converted in 1998), and have
been working to clean it up and get it working again.

The battery and racks had a lot of sulfuric acid build up, which I removed 
using water and baking soda. Now all the acid is gone, I need to prep the
racks. They still have some rust on them from where the paint had been
eaten away. 

The more expensive fix would be to have the racks sand blasted and 
re-painted. A cheaper route might be to use one of the rust stabilizing
products available at the local hardware store. 

Any advice?

Thanks,

....Ken
