A couple of weeks ago I had a slow speed bump whilst driving into my garage, no damage to the car except a couple of cracks in the seams between the front panel and wing and wing and A post.

The cracks have gone rusty and look naff. I have some of the correct colour paint but what should I do to make a lasting repair?

Scrape out the sealant - run some liquid Jenolite in and then reseal with a none-silcon/non setting mastic eg Dum Dum and repaint. seeam sealer is better but it is messy to get in and you will not want much. some outdoor building sealeants without silicon work well
