The most common way of making an object glow in the dark is to use chemicals called phosphors to produce light. But I'm not certan that is used in paint.

Tritium is now used in luminous paints.
radium was used in luminous paint and for theglow in the dark clock it as it emits radioactive decay that's why its not used in luminous paint now
Nitrogen-Building block of proteins
One of the radioactive elements used for nuclear energy is 235U92, commonly stated as U-235.
Any heavy radioactive element can be used. Like uranium.
Tritium is now used in luminous paints.
Promethium
Naturally radioactive promethium was briefly used as a replacement for radium in self-luminous paint. It is element 61.
Radium is a very dangerous radioactive element.
Promethium can be used in luminous paints.
Applications of promethium:- beta radiation source in instruments used to measure thickness of coatings by retrodiffusion of beta radiations- luminous paints- atomic batteries

Radioactive elements are not used in the treatment of AIDS.
