Darrell, 
I have used this process in the past. It presents a bit of a safety
nightmare. 
The products I work on are UL tested and approved. Getting a product
approved with UL having a spray-on conductive coating is difficult. The
spray needs to be UL listed for use with the particular plastic you are
going to use. Then you need to find a UL approved Painter (applicator) who
uses the UL approved process to apply the spray-on conductive coating. 

Once is enough. I stay away from those like a plague.
