 I apologize for the poor video quality, but the audio is working fine.  Just ignore the video and listen to it.  I had several questions online that I want to answer.  This video covers, epoxy primer, primer surfacer, self etching primer, metal cleaners and conditioner, and body hammers.  To make certain that I am leading you right, I called PPG corp. to hear it from them.  More of the details are in the video, but here is a quick q&a
