There is a product called automotive seam sealer and all seam should be
done before painting. Most auto parts stores that handle painting stuff
carry it. Sealing seams after painting will never look good, and it will
never color match. Most seam will almost disappear under the paint work.
I have had several coaches painted and that is how it was done. Let your
painter do it.
