what sealant to use between exterior panels?

[waltraud]

Hi,

am tackling the seams with grinder, wife brushes etc, going to Vactan x2 then was thinking zink rich primer and then flexible sealant before more primer then combi-colour. What to use, is Tiger seal right for this use or the stuff that JK sells (expensive)?
or other?

thanks.

Thanks, funnily enough i've got this and use it so seal welded seams inside or underneath but was thinking on exterior side seams it would be best to use a tube of sealant in a gun to force it into body seam crevices? T

Nah, do your rust prevention bit then a bit of masking tape either side of the seam then brush it in and smooth with your finger, remove tape before it goes off smooth with finger any sealent lip and then ready to paint over once set. job done
