It is a two-part epoxy primer, especially good for use on bare metal. It
isn't available in a spray can; you would need spray equipment and a good
mask with activated charcoal filters. I honestly think you will be very
severly hampered in doing body work if you cannot spray bulk material.
The conventional primer you buy in a spray can does not adhere to metal as
well as a good epoxy or etch primer; I can't recommend it for anything
except minor spot repairs. Eastwood does offer an etch primer in a spray
can; I have not tried it.
