Case IH ironguard enamel can be thinned with lacquer thinner.
"Thinner" is kind of a generic term. Lacquer-thinner, Naptha, Mineral Spirits are all "thinners".
Reducer is for specific paints. There are different ones for different temps, and some are also activators. They actually "activate" the paint. Once mixed in, the paint starts it's curing process and the pot has a life (usually rated in hours) where as thinners are just thinners. Adding them doesn't start a chemical process.
