Your dealer is correct
You need the hardner. Using Centauri under the hood, it is also a good
idea to use the "anti-fish-eye" additive.
I don't know what reducer/thinner you bought but, a fast reducer
normally sells for around $15 a gallon.
Hardner should sell for around $12 for a half-pint.
Centauri paints are usually thinned 3 to one depending on which paint.
Cannot recommed you use this paint without hardner.
