recoating
Fresh layer application
Recoating is applying a fresh layer of protective or decorative material over an existing surface.
Paint, varnish, sealant, and similar finishes often need recoating after wear or weathering: The deck needs recoating every few years.
In 3D printing, recoating spreads new material between printed layers.
