>Wouldn’t those coatings get fucked over by sunlight too?
No. Materials can reflect some wavelengths while absorbing others. That's how color works. When you paint something you've applied a coating which absorbs some parts of the visual spectrum while reflecting others. There are also things like "hot and cold mirrors". A "cold mirror" reflects light but allows heat (infrared radiation) to pass right through it. A "hot mirror" reflects heat but allows visible light to pass through it. One practical function of a so-called "hot mirror" is in a movie or slide projector, where it allows the light through but reflects back the heat from the lamp so it doesn't melt the film.

Can someone explain to me, in simple terms, how this massive hunk of metal is invisible to radars?
