I installed a subpanel yesterday (see thread "Installed a subpanel!") and am now having concerns. I attached EMT conduit to the panel and subpanel using proper fittings. But the panel and subpanel are painted with some sort of a grey paint. Does that paint conduct electricity? I rely on my conduit to be the ground and, obviously, it needs to have an excellent electrical bonding to the panel and subpanel.
The subpanel is on a 60A breaker.
My common sense suggests that the panel paint is probably conductive and that since everything else is attached in the same way as my new conduit, I should not worry. And yet, I would like a clarification.
Thanks.
