You need Acrylic Enamel Reducer, not Enamel Reducer. I painted a 383, 15 years ago with Delstar without use of the hardner, and it still looks great. It is debateable whether or not to use a hardener. It is not required to make the paint cure. It does increase duarability and shine, and allow for polishing as on the exterior of a car. The finish with the hardner is really too shiny to look correct on an engine, and causes the paint to be somewhat brittle.

Used for years and have no problem. Holds gloss well if lyou use hardener. Just make sure your engine is clean, clean, clean, just as you would with any quality paint job.
