Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'priming' (a preparatory primer) with 'coat' (a layer); together they denote the preparatory first layer of paint. This is a straightforward compositional noun-noun phrase following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Priming coat comes from painting: priming means 'to prepare' and coat means a 'layer of paint'. So a priming coat is the 'first layer' that seals and gets a surface ready so later paint will stick and look good.
