Charles, Since this coating is sandwiched between primer and paint,
should I really be concerned about environmental concerns?  I guess
there is the contact between the base and the ground plane, but this is
sealed with an oring or gasket.  Maybe I'm confused by what you mean?

The spec sheet says a 1 mill thick coat achieves 0.25 ohms/sq. This 
probably is not much higher at frequency (it's already pretty thin.) 
Silver is good, but I think the environmental questions are the key 
here. Note, it is "silver plated copper."
