I'd use lacquer thinner. Automotive lacquer thinner. I wouldn't be surprised if lacquer thinner was turpentine, but I'd get thinner from either the dealer that you got the paint from or an auto shop. I've done it, and used a generic lacquer thinner. It worked alright, but could have been better.

Try lacquer thinner. Should work fine. I have some Dupont 'enamel' reducer that I also use with 'hot' paints.
