undercoated

Given protective primer

Undercoated describes something that has received a base layer of paint or protective coating before the final finish.

Cars are undercoated to protect against rust; furniture is undercoated before the topcoat goes on.

The term also describes animals with a dense layer of soft fur beneath coarser outer hair: The undercoated husky sheds heavily in spring.
