From the February 1993 Model Railroader article on the subject of "Painted Power". 

Circuit Works conductive pen, a silver-bearing paint in an applicator, designed for repairing PC traces. Manufactured by Planned Products, 21105 Santa Cruz Hwy., Brush Rd., Los Gatos, CA 95030; 408-459-8088.

Nickel Print (part no. S1199-105, 22207), a nickel-bearing conductive paint with a conductivity of 5 to 6 ohms per square centimeter, and Silver Print (part no. S8426-105, 22-201), a silver-bearing conductive paint with a conductivity of 0.1 ohms per square centimeter, are made by GC Electronics and sold by Edlie Electronics, 2700 Hempstead Tnpk., Levittown, NY 11765.

J. C. Whitney & Co. offers a copper-bearing repair kit (part no. 14-7961P) for automobile electric rear window defrosters. The conductivity is better than nickel, but not as good as silver. The kit is sold by J. C. Whitney & Co. 1917-19 Archer Ave., P. O. Box 8410, Chicago, IL 60680.
