Probably made out of special radar absorbing shit and requires specialized to make sure it is uniform (or not) in its application.
I used a really thin ceramic based paint coating and it was really difficult to apply in a uniform manner. I can’t imagine how hard getting stealth coating onto a fighter jet is.
