See any good paint and body shop supply store for ......... 3M body & seam
sealer! Factories use it to seal around rain gutters etc, completely
paintable. About $15.00 a can.

trust me.. you cannot paint automotive finishes over silicone..  BTDT  it
aint gonna work.  use seam sealer.    and remember - the rust/water comes
from
BEHIND the seam. so making the outside pretty without taking care of the
root of
the problem is a waste of time..
