Not sure on the engine, but for the paint, yes you will want a clear coat over a metallic acrylic. (Not needed if you didnt have metallic) I love acryllic as a paint to apply, definately easier for a newbie. (If you stuff up you can wait an hour, rub it back and fix it!!) Shouldnt need hardener , I cant imagine rocklea having a cold day. Make sure you use decent quality thinners (Not super cheap crap..their thinners is only good for cleaning guns) A cheap thinner will not let you get a decent gloss.
If you go to a paint shop , ask them what pressures to spray at, estimated drying times dependant on temperature, reccommended coats (how many undercoat, how many top, how many clear) and buy decent paint! If you buy cheapo paint..you get a cheapo job. Go at least mid range in quality.
Cheers
