Wow, tough crowd here.

Ranzan, there are a few companies who make seam sealer products and 3M is one of the leaders. There are also different types of seam sealer products. Some are applied with a caulk gun or specialized (read that as expensive) type gun and some are brushable. Some are water based and some are two part urethane style sealers. Some will require them to be installed on top of primer and others can stick to bare metal. My suggestion is to finish your metal work and primer everything with a good coat of epoxy primer. Let that dry and then apply which ever seam sealer you want to use and let that fully cure. For good measure, you can scuff the area and apply epoxy primer over everything again and finish it as you wish. If you can get to both sides of the seam, I would do the same thing to both sides.
