undercoat
Paint beneath paint
An undercoat is a layer of paint or primer applied before the final coat, creating a smooth base and improving adhesion: Apply an undercoat before the gloss.
In animals, the undercoat is the dense, soft fur beneath the outer coat that provides insulation: Huskies have thick undercoats for cold weather.
The verb means to apply such a base layer.
