I personally don't like the looks of Welting, so I chose to use 3M Stipe caulk. Cajun Dragger also used it on his truck and it is mention in his build. Bascially you can place it between the two painted surfaces and just clean up what amount might squeeze out once you have it tightened down.

I used it anywhere two painted surfaces meet.

Here is a picture of how mine looked when assembled.
