This paint is used on snap-start fluorescent tubes, also on television
tubes (sometimes), screening on electrical circuits and  it is excellent
for repairing car rear window heaters. I don't know which of your shops
etc. would stock it, I get mine from an electronic component catalogue.
Mine was several dollars (as you say) for a tiny bottle, a bit like a
bottle of nail varnish, and it doesn't keep forever.  It is real silver.
There is a commercial process whereby copper metal is sputtered onto
almost any surface (a bit like a spraygun cum electric welder), maybe
not if you only want a thin line of copper.
Have you ever examined the inside of a blown glass fuse, you can see the
metal welded to the glass in there sometimes.

If this is all too expensive for cheap and lazy gardeners, maybe we
ought to pass the hat round our audience for the entertainment value of
all this verbal diarrhroea (yes, that's our correct spelling)
