German term or phrase: aufspritzen
"Lagersitz im Radsatzgetriebegehäuse aufspritzen".

A text about a bearing in a bogie drive (train wheel-set) that has been turning in its housing causing damage. Aufspritzen is sometimes used as "spray-painting" or as "metallisation". Neither seem to be a 100% fit in the context.

ANy ideas?

and the free onlinedictionary has an even more precise definition:
The spraying or coating of an aircraft or equipment with a substance, e.g., a plastic, to form a cocoonlike seal against the effects of the atmosphere.
