Peter,
Conductive paints, by nature, are expensive (typically silver filled). They
are typically designed for ESD control of surfaces. They are not intended
for use as a good or even reasonable conductive path in electronic
applications. Even conductive epoxies are unpredictable conductors when
"painted'' on a surface as a conductive path (I have found resistivities of
about .005 to 30 ohms/sq.). They only work well when compressed between 2
noble metal surfaces in a somewhat thin film.
Regards,
Bruce Misner
