This was a job I did on my old '84 Westy, the seams had little rust, but it was obvious the original seam sealer was hardened and cracked in many spots allowing water to seep in. After carefully grinding out all the old seam sealer (Dremel) I went to an auto body supply shop (Mattos) and bought a tube of 3M Auto Body Seam Sealer. It came out of the tube white, and was easily cleaned up with soap and water. My point is it looked very much like, in fact EXACTLY like, plain old caulk you'd get at Home Depot or Lowes to caulk windows or a bath tub.
