Cristian,
Before you go through all the trouble or repainting, consider the following:
1- If the plaster was grounded before painting, then the paint is grounded
as well, how is grounding related to your symptoms becoming worse with
paint?
2- Have you checked with an RF meter? It seems to me that a proper diagnosis
before re-painting might be wise.
3- A large conductive object (such as the conductive paint or the plaster)
IS a ground. The more massive the conductive material, the better the
ground. Think of ground as a reservoir of electrons. Earth is the most
massive ground we have access to, but not the only ground. How are you
testing for ground?
