1. An apparatus for shielding electromagnetic interference in a printed circuit board, said apparatus comprising:
a plastic part having one or more compartments providing an enclosure, said plastic part having at least first and second opposed surfaces, the first surface being attached to the printed circuit board;
a continuous metal conformal coating applied onto at least the second surface of said plastic part, said metal conformal coating having a thickness of from about 0.0001 inches to about 0.005 inches; and
a form-in-place electromagnetic interference gasket applied to the top surface of said metal conformal coating covering the plastic part in an area of a part flange.
