Key info from the RFS link below is:

1. The first one is adhesion. A variety of radome materials are used for antenna construction so the surface texture will vary. Some paints having the best durability here may be dangerous to work with and require an EPA qualified application facility. Preparation is important. All surface contamination must be removed.

2. The second one is the choice of pigment. RF transparency is crucial, so conductive coloring materials such as carbonblack, lead, and metallic powders cannot be used. Lighter colors are preferred where practicable to reduce internal temperature extremes which could occur on hot, sunny days.

from Google you'll find some good information, like:-
