In many cars, the sealer I've seen is painted.  I am not sure if putty
compounds like duct seal will hold paint.  3M or Dupont probably make
something that does.  You can get their products at any body shop supply
house.  Might cost more, but not that much more to make it worthwhile
using something that won't take paint or might end up sticking to whatever
you put in your trunk.
