This is the real deal. Worth the price as it does what it is supposed to do without the hassle of messing with shielding tape. My only complaint is that it requires 3 coats, and each coat requires 24 hours between them, so if you're needing to get done quickly, this is not the solution and better to go the tape route. If you have 3 days to spend, though, this is definitely easier!

I typically get less than 200 ohms of resistance across a large cavity following the instructions for 3 coats with 24 hours between coats. Shielding is quite good, it is expensive but works as advertised.

A friend used this to fix my bass guitar after a leak in my apartment got it wet and caused all the shielding paint on it to come off. The damage caused it to make a constant buzzing sound that was not good, and with the paint it is now as good as new.

I picked up a cheap Squier Strat with shot electronics that I decided to upgrade. I put on a Fender Tex-Mex loaded pickguard and made some other upgrades. Once everything was was put back together, there was LOUD hum that cut in and out depending on what metal part I touched. When I touched the bridge and output jack at the same time, I literally picked up a radio signal. Yup, voices out of my guitar amp, like Spinal Tap. So I picked up this paint and painted the whole cavity. (Yes I was lazy and left the strings on.) Once everything was painted and shielded, and reassembled, the hum was gone. Even directly under a florescent light, inches from the pickups, with high distortion, no hum. This definitely works as advertised!

If you want this stuff to stick, make sure any/all overspray is sanded out of the body cavities. Had a hell of a time getting it to take on my Warmouth Strat body. Think I'll stick with the tape next time. There is enough here to do four guitars. But I won't use it again.

Was able to have continuity after one coat. But putting on three. You need to be careful paint is thin and can splatter a bit with a 1 inch brush. So far so good .
