German term or phrase: Lackaufbau herstellen
All,

I am translating fitting instructions for an air intake snorkel for a passenger vehicle.
The step-by-step instructions describe how penetrations are to be cut into the vehicle body and how the edges are to be treated to prevent corrosion.

The passage in question reads:
***Lackaufbau*** (gemäß aktuell gültigem Reparaturleitfaden) ***herstellen***:
1. Waschprimer aufbringen und entsprechend der Artikelbeschreibung trocknen lassen.
2. Füller aufbringen und entsprechend der Artikelbeschreibung trocknen lassen.
3. Ggf. Basislack auf sichtbare Flächen entsprechend der fahrzeugspezifischen Lackfarbe aufbringen und entsprechend der Artikelbeschreibung trocknen lassen.

I fully understand the concept of re-creating the paint layers that were disturbed by cutting the penetrations but I am not sure who to express the concept best.

Thank you.

Apply coats of paint (according to instructions)


Explanation:
I don't think there is any simple way to express the concept succinctly, except to describe it.
You could also say "paint according to painting guidelines" or something like that.

restore paint cover


Explanation:
the subsequent text clearly indicates the aufbau part, i.e., multiple layers of primer, etc. . So the heading can be fairly general.
