<VV> What to do first?

[Bill Elliott]

I disagree. POR15 does not stick to new metal well, but Rustoluem does. While not as good as true automotive paint, I've found it readily lasts in excess of 
a decade even when fully exposed to weather (but not necessarily sun).  I use it on all of my undercarriages.

paint the panels and weld bead with Rustoleum (or an equivalent) first and then apply the seam sealer or seam seal first and then paint?  Any advice will be 
appreciated.
