French term or phrase: rexisme
From list of paint finishes for parts of a power plant:

Une couche d'impression a enduit **rexisme** ou similaire

No idea what's meant here. Further up it has mentioned:
- Ratissage au REXENDUIT ou similaire, which seems to be a brand name, but rexisme?

Any suggestions very welcome, as ever!

Thanks

English translation:Rexisme
Explanation:
It looks like a brand, so should be capitalized. It also looks like a mistake, but you can't help that. No credible instances of "rexisme" on the web, but a whole series of "rex-" paints etc. here:

Pièces sèches : Après préparation du support (Application de REXISME et Mastic sur enduit en ciment), il sera
appliqué trois couches de peinture a l eau blanche mate sur les murs de toutes les pièces.
Pièces humides : Préparation et revêtement en peinture blanche mat type REXOMAT ou similaire.

Thanks to you all - I'm going to leave this in inverted commas with a capital as suggested, but mark it for querying with the end client

spackling paste (US) /polyfilla (UK)


Explanation:
Hi.

This might be it. I'm not sure.

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-spackling-paste.htm

"REXENDUIT est une pâte à base de copolymères glycéro-vinyliques
pour travaux de rebouchage, d'enduisage et de projection de gouttelettes
DESTINATION et PROPRIETES - Intérieur
- REXENDUIT durcit rapidement.
- REXENDUIT isole les couches de finition de l'alcalinité du support. Il
ne "s'enterre pas", ne "décroche pas" et peut être recouvert directement
par une peinture-laque"

One can't always insist upon a particular brand of materials, however it is quite usual to name a brand and specify that the materials used must be equivalent to that brand's products.
