    It comes in yellow or black. I recommend the black, because it blends in well with the rubber.

    but be preparred for possible mess. I always have a rag in one hand and the tube in the other, as there is always a thread that follows away from the bead of sealer when you pull the tube away. I let the cloth "grab" the thread so it doesn't fall back onto the car paint.

    Yep, I really don't even know why they make the yellow. How many yellow weatherstrips have you ever seen? :hmmm:
    The black works great!

    Keep the yellow for gaskets (waterpump, valvecover, timingcovers ect.) it works great to hold them in place while installing. I use it all the time. 3M is the best!
