Morphology

bepimpled = pimpled (semi-transparent) = be + pimple + ed

While the prefix 'be-' suggests covering, the verb form meaning to cover with pimples is not immediately obvious.

Etymology

The word bepimpled is built from be- 'covered with' and pimple 'small spot', and used as a verb it means 'to cover or mark with small raised spots', which is why you can say a rash or rust 'bepimpled' something.
