Flemish term or phrase: werkhuisprimer
Voorbereiding:

Oppervlak grondig ontroesten en ontvetten, algemeen nazicht van werkhuisprimers.

This is a tender document for having a large commercial building repainted. The specific area that applies here is a bare metal ceiling (i.e. has never been painted before).

Google comes up empty, so I'm not exactly sure what type of a primer they are talking about here. It may be worth mentioning that I have come accross a few dodgy terms/sentences in the source text so far.

metal primer


Explanation:
I have come accross the term "workhouse primer" only once. But on the other hand, if they are talking about a primer to cover metal surfaces, why can't you use the term "metal primer" ? Lots of hits on Google ...

primer in work area


Explanation:
werkhuis is an area where people usually do carpenting and such. My grandfather used to have one where he kept all his nuts and bolts and wood supply.

I don't know if this applies to your text, we might have to dig a little deeper to find out what they really mean.
