Arabic translation:دهان بمذيب
Explanation:
Please make sure that the term is actually "solvent paint" and not, for instance, "solvent paint remover," "solvent paint stripper," "solvent paint thinner," etc.

I am sure you know what a solvent is: it is the substance in which the coating material is dissolved. After painting, the slovent evaporates, and the actual coat stays on.

In that sense, almost every paint is a "solvent paint," because it is dissolved in a solvent. There are different kinds of solvent, so we often speak of "organic solvent paint," "low-solvent paint," "high-solvent paint," etc. But we rarely speak of "solvent paint," except for the fact that there are today some types of paints called "non-solvent paint" that are mostly organic (less toxic or non-toxic).

The translation suggested above is based on the assumption that your text does in fact speak of "solvent paint," an assumption that needs to be checked.

If the term is \"paint solvent,\" then the suggested translation will be مسـيل دهان or مذيب دهان, but that is the solvent, not the paint.
