Battery Tray Color

[BroncoBub]

Was the battery tray body color or black? Just got done painting the engine bay and still need to paint the tray.

Thanks,
Bub

I think the color is generally known as “rust” or similar depending upon the manufacturer.

Normally black is the go to color, but I think with your particular blue it would look pretty cool body color.

Unless you also happen to have a billet aluminum version?

No billet version, I'll just paint it body color to match the rest.
Thanks DirtDonk

Now that is a nice blue. I would go with black just to show off the fact that it was sprayed separately from the body and them assembled. When everything strars getting the same color it sometimes looks like things were painted in situ. But blue would work since it is not really that visible anyway.

I vote for black. Easier to maintain if you get wear or rust like battery trays generally do.

If you are going original, all the battery trays were black originally. They were bolted in after the body tubs were painted.

After further review, black it is! All I need to do is paint it now.

Thanks, Bub

The original color was probably hot-dipped galvanized.
