It's not the paint, it's the composites under the paint that absorbs the radar. The actual way it works is still classified though.

Needless to say that the geometrical requirements for minimizing the RCS established by "Echo 1" program had little place for considerations of aerodynamics. The resulting aircraft had the aerodynamics of a flying coffin[...]

I'm curious, how does radar-absorbing paint absorb radar? What makes it do the thing it does, or is that a secret?
I doubt it's alien technology, though.
