I know there is a special electrical conductive like paint made here in Phx for special applications...wonder how that might work in discharging lightning??

Interesting idea about the paint. Of course, plastic conducts an electric charge in a different way than metal.

The less paint on a plane the better so far as fuel burn is concerned. To paint an entire airplane the size of a 787 would add a few thousand pounds to the airframe. That is expensive.
