Silicone won't stick to silicone.......nor will anything else until all silicone has been removed and then the residue left behind removed using a solvent.
Silicone does NOT belong around an RV.
Use Dicor or Proflex
B.O.- Proflex is what the dealers use for waterproofing, and it's more like 1/2 sealant and 1/2 adhesive.
It's some great stuff. - Silicone doesn't stand up to the rigors of an RV, it eventually degrades and loses the bond. Proflex is a three part polymer that has excellent bond strength and elongation.

Use Dicor or Proflex - Paint will not stick to silicone.
