Is a spray-on “faraday cage” possible?

I have done it with electric guitars and it is common practice and it works but, I am a fanatic for knock out the hum so I end up using copper tape.
I think it might be psychological.

That’s what RF shielding is, essentially a “Faraday cage” for certain frequencies. So, yes, you can make an RF shield with spray-on conductive paint. I’ve done it. It is not possible to build a “Faraday cage” that blocks all frequencies, with any real material, though.
