There WAS a spray-on RFI shielding "paint" available many, many moons ago,
per a "New Products" listing in QST, back in the early/mid 80's, as I
recall...
The writer touted the advantages such a product offered when trying to
"quiet down" the likes of computer keyboards, et al (the Commodore 64, &
others of its ilk, was just beginning to make inroads into the shack, &
causing RFI to HF receivers)...
I'm sure something like this must still be available --- have you checked
Allied, or Mousser...?
