[Amps] Shielding

[Alek Petkovic]

Dunno about Copper but several years ago one could buy Nickel Screening 
paint from a electronics supply chain here in Australia. It came in 
standard spray cans and was designed for spraying the innards of plastic 
boxes for shielding purposes. The paint adhered to the plastic very well 
and I believe it did a good job at shielding as well.
