Radium self luminescent paint hasn't been used in decades since the hazards of it's ionising radiation became widely known.
Modern technology of self luminescent paint seems to be based on tritium gas in a similar concept to tritium glow sticks but instead contained within micro particles. These micro particles can be painted on or made in to solid plastic. It is self luminous for 20+ years with a 12 year half-life. The company MPK who invented it calls the technology Litrospheres and also has plans for using it to self power solar panels as an energy source.
At the present time this self luminescent paint, plastic or energy source technology has not been made available to the public.
Luminous paint contains phosphors that absorb and store light energy, which is then slowly released over time, causing the paint to glow in the dark. This paint is commonly used on clock faces to make them visible in low-light conditions without the need for external lighting.
Radium is the radioactive element commonly used in luminous paints to produce a glow-in-the-dark effect. The decay of radium releases energy in the form of light, making the paint glow without needing an external light source. Due to its radioactivity, caution should be taken when handling materials containing radium.
Iodine is commonly used to paint the skin before medical procedures to prevent infection. It has antiseptic properties that can help reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
Iodine is commonly used to paint the skin to prevent cuts from becoming infected. It acts as an antiseptic, killing bacteria that may lead to infections.
Radium was the radioactive element used in glow-in-the-dark paint in the early 20th century. Its radioactive properties caused the paint to glow, but it was later discovered to be hazardous to health and discontinued for such use.
In modern times, Cobalt-60 is the substance used to make self-luminous paint. Cobalt-60 has replaced Radium's use for the same applications due to Radium's radiation danger.
Naturally radioactive promethium was briefly used as a replacement for radium in self-luminous paint. It is element 61.

What element is used in paint the skin to prevent infection
The sun is a self-luminous celestial body that emits its own light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. Fireflies are insects that are self-luminous due to a chemical reaction in their bodies that produces light, often used as a signal for communication and mating.
Radium. I think.
Alpha particles emitted by radium produce radioluminescence is zinc sulfide.
