The primer surfacer coat is applied between the prime coat and topcoat. An anti-chip coating applied to main body parts (e.g., rocker panels, bottom of doors and fenders, and leading edge of roof) is a primer/surfacer coat. The primer surfacer coat is also referred to as a "guide coat."

"Primer surfacer coat" means, for purposes of 35 Ill. Adm.

"Primer surfacer coat" means, for purposes of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.204(a)(2) and 219.204(a)(2), an intermediate protective coating applied over the electrodeposition primer and under the topcoat. Primer surfacer provides adhesion, protection, and appearance properties to the total finish. Primer surfacer may also be called guide coat or surfacer. Primer surfacer operations may include other coatings (e.g., anti-chip, lower-body anti-chip, chip-resistant edge primer, spot primer, blackout, deadener, interior color, basecoat replacement coating, etc.) that are applied in the same spray booths.
