Finding paint

So I’m having a hard time finding conductive grafit paint in my country. So I have been looking for some alternatives (do excuse the directly translation) and I want to ask if any of these would work.
My solution is sulfuric acid based. And one is acetic acid based.

- zinc phosphate based spray paint
- copper lucubration
- metallic colored rim paint
Or anything else I could find in a hardware store?

Are any of those workable or should I just bite the bullet and buy from another country and accept the shipping cost?

How fast dose your anode get eaten? By

So my two anodes got absolutely eaten overnight the thickness if I had to guess is 1mm
My solution is a sulfuric acid based pre made. (Glossy copper electrolyte)
The anode is was absolutely fine last night

Total time I around 15 hours
At 0.9v -0.1 v and 0.5 A-0. 14 A
Temperature standard at 37c and feel to around 14c doing the night
My pieces feel good and sturdy tho they’re salmon colored
I just filtered my solution and there isn’t as much sludge as I was expecting.
Tho the anode was covered in black sludge(?)

Is this just the normal life spand for anodes? Or is something going on? If so Where did I go wrong and what can I do in the future?
