So the advice on here is to apply seam sealer sandwiched between two layers of primer. The 3M tech videos state "do not apply a seam sealer to bare metal unless it is designed for it", so there is some truth in the primer first claim.
Anyways, on my project it would be convenient to apply it now, to bare metal, the body hasn't been painted yet, so I Googled "bare metal seam sealer". There's a 3M 2k one that comes up, but it's silly expensive, £90 for a measly 200 ml !!
I've just checked the tech manual for the Puraflex 40 (aka the Toolstation Seam Sealer), and it says to apply to bare metal:
I'll phone tech support tomorrow, but thought I'd get opinions from people.

I've just checked the tech manual for the Puraflex 40 (aka the Toolstation Seam Sealer), and it says to apply to bare metal:
Glass, metal and aluminium should be cleaned with a proprietary solvent cleaner prior to application for optimum adhesion ... It is unlikely that priming will be required.
