Hi Jim . . .
That was my point, although without mentioning the paint.
I should have said "worth RE-considering."

There are HUGE holes in that assumption in the form of non-metallic
parts and paint preventing contact between metal parts. An enclosure
forms a Faraday cage ONLY if it is continuous. and ONLY if all
conductors penetrating it have either a feed-through to the enclosure
or, if a shielded conductor, the shield is bonded to the enclosure at
the point of entry.
Modern vehicles have lots of paint between metal parts. When I used
Hamsticks on my Volvo S80, I had to bond the mount to the trunk, and I
had to bond around the trunk hinges.
