I don't know where you got your information, but it's wrong.CARC is designed to absorb agents that land on it. It acts like a sponge and will suck up your touch up paint, meaning it takes a lot of touch up paint to cover old CARC.
CARC paint has two purposes.
1.
It absorbs a few different frequencies of light making it difficult to observe the item painted with it, typically IR. based vision systems.
2.
CARC is resistant to the decontamination fluids used in the event of a chemical attack. DS2 is very nasty and will remove non catalyzed coatings.
CARC is used over epoxy primers, of which 5 or 6 different versions have been used since it's beginnings.
