Hi,

Berry's advice is probably best, but I thought I'd add this.  If you do 
decide to use a seam sealer, try Eastwood Co. (www.eastwoodcompany.com).  
They offer two sealers that (they say) can be painted over.  One type comes 
in a quart container that you need to brush on, and the other comes in a tube 
to be applied with a caulking gun.  They have tech help if you want to know 
more about the product.

 you are doing.  I used a non-hardening caulk sealer that later caused 
 problems with paint adhesion.  I had to remove the fenders&repaint the area. 
 
 Contact the shop that will do the paint and let them recommend a sealer that 
 is compatible with the paint they will be using.  That puts the monkey on 
 their back if a problem develops.  I presume that you sandblasted the fender 
 flanges&used some sort of rustproof paint (let your painter make the call).
