Drip Rails

[scrappy70]

I have to replace the sealant on the drip rails on my 1970 C10. The old stuff is removed and ready for the new. I've read several threads about how to reapply the new sealant and each one seems to have it's own technique. My question is, do I need the self etching primer prior to applying the self leveling sealant or will it stick to the metal on it's own?

I bought the 3M self leveling sealant. Has anyone use this and if so, did it work well for you?

I recommend epoxy primer under it. I know some of them state you can put it over bare metal but I wouldn't do it on my truck. Good luck.
