It's not recommended to thin paving paint with turpentine, as it can alter the paint's composition and performance. Instead, it's best to use a thinner specifically designed for the type of paint you're using, often water or a paint thinner recommended by the manufacturer. Always check the paint can instructions or consult the manufacturer for the best thinning options.

Can safflower oil be used as a paint solvent?
Safflower oil is used to dilute oil paint and is the base for many oil paints, but is not a solvent. A solvent dissolves the paint completely. Adding more oil to oil paint will only thin the color out into the solution. To dissolve oil paint use a odorless thinner available through art supply stores or turpentine (preferably odorless, a lot of people have a bad reaction to turpentine). Safflower oil will work if you want to thin the paint but will not clean your brushes.
