I think the paint has good properties, but it is true that
removing it is a problem. Make sure you fill any cracks
so you get a single conductive surface over the whole area.
Leave some exposed someplace where you can install a
dedicated ground rod; meanwhile ground it to your pipes
or electric... and make sure you can experiment with grounded
vs. non-grounded (don't paint close to anything that might
create a shock hazard).
The most cost efficient thing for windows is aluminum insect
screen. You either need to bond it electrically with the paint,
or have an overlap of several inches. You will see the levels
improve maybe 99% reduction without overlap, but if the
levels are bad you want to shoot for much better, like 99.99%.
Don't paint another color over the y-shield until your readings
are low enough... you may need to add a second coat.
I know someone who used very fine stainless steel mesh on his windows. The
films really are not as good, and bonding to the
paint with film may not work (you have to bond it all the way
around). There's a place in Berkeley, TWPinc.com that sells all kinds of
mesh, including copper and bronze...
