I'm trying to create an outdoor installation with simple embedded electronics. I was hoping to use conductive paint to connect leds. The leds would be covered (waterproof) but the conductive paint would be exposed. However, I was wondering:
1) if conductive paint being exposed to water is just as a bad as exposing regular electronics being exposed to water, or if it would be ok for outdoor use?
2) if not, what would be a good alternative for waterproofing electronics?
Thanks.

I'm not sure if conductive paint will tarnish - but I do know that the Graffiti Research Lab uses conductive spray paint to add tracks for LEDs around their work.
From what I've seen some of the work is on a regular exterior building walls. Even if there's no information on the website about your questions, I'd imagine they would probably know - maybe you should contact them if you don't have any luck by other means
