It is actually made by Kemo Electronic of Germany.
The last time I purchased conductive silver paint from Maplin 9 years ago it was the Rite-Lok brand.
That coated in one, handles a 12v 1amp load and is still functioning.
Unfortunately 3M seem to have discontinued the Rite-Lok brand of conductive paint.
This Kemo paint is very thin so was applied (after lots of shaking) THREE times, allowing 8 hours between coats.
It adheres OK to plastic.
But its conductive property is Zero after 3 coats.
This is one of the worst buys I have ever made.
One expects better of an expensive German product.
Obviously I now need to look for a quality Japanese one.
The paint arrives in a phial but the mix of ingredients is poor. The paint is approx 7% metallic flakes and 93% clear carrier fluid. The carrier fluid is non conductive. Contrast this to a tin of household oil based paint that may have a small film of oil above the paint, this is the opposite.
In order to make the paint usuable and give a consistent colour you need to remove most of the carrier fluid. Allow the paint to settle until the metallic flakes settle into a tiny pool at the base of the phial, then remove most of the clear carrier fluid with cotton buds. A mix of teo parts carrier fluid to one part metallic flakes will leave a paint that works well and gives consistent coverage.
You need to clean any surface you wish to paint on, i used white spirits and a lint free cloth.
Ive added so e pics of the paint on a jam jar. I tried masking with insulation tape, masking tape and frog tape but the insulation tape gave by far the neatest results. The pics show nice neat results that were the same size as the grid lines on my cars heated rear screen.
Back to why this product isn't fit for purpose for modern cars (none of the similar conductive paints are, not just this one). The paint is a bright silver. Many decades ago cars had silver heated rear screen grids while modern cars have orange/brown grid lines. I did paint this product onto my heated screen and got the paint to exactly match the size of the grid lines, but as others have found the results looked stupid from outside the car as there were VERY obvious bright silvers lines in patches in the rear window that were a huge contrast to the rest of the screen.
Ive noticed some youtube videos from the USA where they use a similar product that is the same orange/brown colour as the heated screen grids.

and to pick up the track power from the axel. I tryed to apply the paint with a cocktail stick, but found it much better to use a small paint brush.
The paint is more like a varnish, so shake it up well just before you use it as the pigment will settle to the bottom.
Although the amount of paint in the tube may seem very small for the money, you really dont need much at all.
Best results are with two thin coats, rather than one big blob, and leave to dry over night.
Im not sure what to clean your brush with, l just wiped clean with a kitchen towel.
