Because I suggested trying some of the translucent silicone, I thought I'd better do some research on the different types for cross compatibility i.e. whether they'll stick to each other or/and are paintable.
I know from past building experience that most silicone ones, paint won't adhere. There are some that are called paintable, but must be painted within a short time to hold. From what I see, the crystal clears are what's called co-polymers, Lowes had DAP Sidewinder brand advertised. 3M brand had 2, #730 and #230, the website said they would supply free samples of each by calling 1-800-362-3550 (definitely the right price). Selleys, as far as I could see were the only brand offering both crystal clear (Selleys All Clear) and translucent (Selleys Wet Seal).
All the co-polymers stated paintable, but it will be worth checking if there is a time limit between initial curing and painting/coloring time.
