Galvanizing spray paint may not have a good faraday effect due to the small zinc particle size and the lack of electrical connection between particles. Just a guess. I would think foil tape would tell you for certain.
But the paint may have been just as good. Never really tested it for that. I know that eventually the vehicle somehow weathers or evaporates away and allows the zinc to do the proper electrochemistry when applied to steel.

I debated trying foil tape, but just gave up frequency reuse on that old UBNT gear.

I wonder what the difference would be to put foil on everything but the area in the front where the antenna is...

Still too hot for them to both be on-channel obviously, since they put out so much noise out the back. Obviously a directional antenna like a Powerbeam will be different.

So both of them lowered the level that they could hear each other by 6db.
