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..


robert, search the archives for "seam rust"   you'll find tons of info in 
there..
