need RX7 · 05-06-2011, 07:43 PM

I'm currently prepping my engine bay for paint, and in the process of wire-wheeling all kinds of tar and rust and road grime, etc, I'm finding that I'm also removing portions of the caulk sealing the seams between panels in the engine bay. What type of sealant should I use to replace the missing portions? Is it something I could get at Autozone/Murray's/etc, or would I have to go to a specialty 'body stuff' place?
