Hello Micah,

I installed mine after painting too.  Start with really clean, degreased 
surfaces.  Lay the seal in-place.  Get the feel for fit; i.e. you don't want 
to stretch or cut the corners so that at the end you have a hump of seal. 
Use what you would consider too little RTV and use a syringe.  You want to 
avoid squeeze out.  After the RTV is cured your can go back and add more RTV 
in the areas that need it, just by gently pulling the seal sufficient to 
insert the syringe.  There is so much surface area and the RTV is 
sufficiently strong and the stress is always under compression, that minimal 
RTV will be best.
