Conductive Paints
There are a whole variety of conductive paints available, mostly over the internet. Metallic markers and paints that you can get from craft stores are typically NOT conductive. Conductive paints are not cheap, but they are affordable and can be used in many of the processes described in the recipes on this website.

Silver Paints
Tend to be very highly conductive. I prefer water based because they tend to dry/cure at room temperature and are easy to mix with acrylic bases and thin with water. Solvent based versions often have to be dry/cured at high temperatures for long periods of time and are messy to work with.
Conductive Pens
Silver paint is contained in conductive pens that are sold for fixing electrical connections on circuits. I have had little luck getting these pens to work well and dispense their conductive ink nice and smoothly. But you can easily cut them open and extract the silver paint to be used in other ways.
Google “conductive pen” and you should find lots of results.

Good morning, I’m interested in the product graphite conductive paint. I’m from Colombia and I would like to send me a quote for the cost and sent the product. Thanks a lot
Thanks again for the post.Really thank you! Great.
Is the LesEMF product that is mentioned a paint that once applied to wood would make metal plating possible?

With the understanding that yes, most metals are conductive on their own… Do you have any recommendations for a conductive paint or finish for metallic surfaces? I’ve got a bronze stylus that came coated with some kind of conductive black finish, but the finish is flaking off…
this is the correct URL for Sherri Haab, she has conductive paints and the set for electroforming. I’ve been researching for a while and so far she has the best prices..
