Let's go sentence by sentence.

1. I'm not Jose, but thank you because my name is Spanish sounds very much like Heiney (my name is James)
2. Who exactly is it that anodized aluminum and who is this they everyone talks about?
3. This is autobody 101: get down to the metal, make sure it's all clean and properly prep the surface including primer. Thanks, I didn't ask, but this might help someone else.
