application of primer / application of base coat
Explanation:
Hi Stephanie,

It sounds to me like they're getting ready to paint something. Look at the picture on the link below. This is what I always call primer or base coat when I paint (fortunately seldom). It's the base you put on so that the colour of the final paint looks better.

Hope that helps.

Explanation:
Although 'primer' may well be correct, this is another often-encountered term that sounds more likely to me...

But it's not my field!
