Do you seam seal the new joints then etch prime, prime and paint OR do you etch prime then seam seal, prime and paint?

I alway etch prime first, before ANY other coating. I swear by etch primer, brililant stuff.

Just make sure that the steel is completely free of grease from your skin before spraying the etch primer on though, or your hard work will be undermined by peeling paint.
