Does anyone have a method for painting over silicone chalking?

There were a bunch of places in the house and shop that the previous owner 
used clear silicone chalk to fill in the weather stripping around windows 
and such.

Well, I need to paint these areas now and all paints seem to "bead up" on 
the silicone.  I've tried a "BIN Primer Shellac" at the recommendation of 
the Home Depot droid to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas?  (short of stripping it all and re-chalking it?)

TIA
