Todd,
Sounds like you have the right idea. When I replace my batteries, I scrape & sand the loose stuff. I neutralize the entire bay with lots of baking soda & water. Repaint with a good quality oil based paint--I use Rustoleum from Wal*Mart.
The key is to perform monthly inspections of the battery bay where I wipe clean the batteries tops with baking soda & water, top off the battery water & address any paint touch up when needed(normally not needed).
