Yes, kerosene can be used to thin asphalt paint, but it is not the most recommended option. While it may reduce viscosity and improve application, using kerosene can affect the paint's adhesion and durability. It's advisable to use a thinner specifically designed for asphalt paint for optimal results. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for thinning products.

Can kerosene be use to thin paint?
You should not use kerosene to thin any paint. It will not mix with water based paints, and it is too dirty for use in oil based paint as an effective thinner. When using oil-based paints, Mineral Spirits is the preferred thinner for brushing and cleanup, while VM&P Naphtha is used for spray applications.
Why is kerosene used to remove paint rather than water?
Kerosene is a solvent that effectively breaks down the chemical bonds in paint, making it easier to remove. Water is not as effective at breaking down these bonds, so kerosene is a better choice for paint removal.

What is the difference between mineral spirits and paint thinner?
Mineral spirits and paint thinner are both solvents used to clean paint brushes and thin paint, but they have different chemical compositions. Mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner that is less toxic and has a milder odor compared to other paint thinners. Paint thinner, on the other hand, is a more generic term that can refer to a variety of solvents used to thin paint.
Is Stoddard solvent the same as kerosene?
I have just been trying to find out just what Stoddard solvent is. I can say for sure that it is not kerosene. Some American sites call it paint thinner, turpentine, spirits of turpentine or mineral spirits. I don't believe that it is either of the first three. In Australia we have a product called mineral turpentine (turps) which is used to wash brushes and thin oil based paints but turps is not the same as what we call paint thinners which is the stuff typically used by spray painters using nitro-cellulose or acrylic lacquers. I have also established that Stoddards smells similar to kerosene and is used to thin household paint. It seems that the exact composition may vary a bit and may include proprietary perfumes but is mostly what we here in Oz call white spirit or dry cleaning fluid . I can't say I've ever heard of thinning paint with white spirit but that's my best guess at this stage.
