agree  John Jory: Exactly. 'Überbeschichtbarkeit' describes the ability of a coating to accept another layer (also of a different type, i.e. gloss finish or whatever).

agree  Rowan Morrell: Hmm, yeah, the "over" part is maybe a bit redundant. It's sort of implicit in the English, I guess. The German text is being a bit too specific with that word.

neutral  Rowan Morrell: This phrase only gets 1 search engine hit, compared with 80 or 90-odd for "overcoatability". So whether or not it's more readily understood, it's clearly not in very frequent use.
