Disclaimer: I have not used the paint myself, but was looking into this matter several years ago while painting miniatures.

For light-absorbing paint the trick is that in order to have a bright luminescence (?) you have to apply a thick layer of paint, as thin layer will contain to small amount of light absorbing material to produce enough light.

That said, if you plan to have a thin layer, you will not get enough of light.

In the same time, for black light you have to have a UV (black) light source, which can be located pretty remotely from the object, but these lights in turn, have some normal light also emitting.

That said, everything depends upon your desired setup and degree desired luminescence.

Hope this helps.
