Its welded in.
Could also be painted in-situ if you prep and mask carefully.

i've done exactly that on my 1997 corsa 1.2
unscrewed the battery tray itself from the bracket, which was welded on the body.
sanded it down to bare metal and painted with brush on hammerite..
came up a treat 
more pics of my car and parts i have painted, if you're interested

never knew you could get hammerite in a spray can, interesting 
i prefer the brush on stuff- especially the hammer finish, dont have to worry about brush marks and it looks uber sexy i think.
..and hammered deep green is the exact colour of my car, matches better than the touch-up sticks lol
