due to the colorant I would guess no...   the colorant in many paint like 
applications use metallic oxides which under hi volt applications 
conduct...  as far as corona dope being either black or red....  what type 
of colorant they use in that that doesnt conduct is probably a trade 
secret...  most blacks are carbon  and reds are lead oxide...
