DBC 'stability'

Howdy all:
I just had my fully stripped tub painted with DPLF epoxy primer followed by DBC color and clear (2000 series i think). I had the shop do the whole tub in color and asked that they use the DX27 hardner in the color. Well the painter didnt since I got a half gallon of reduced color for future use and the car was masked when they were shooting the clear for the outside of the car... So i don't think the inside parts (trunk, engine bay, interior, wheel wells) got clear coat. Any quick way to check? Wipe with acetone?

My car is a 67, so it should be black in all areas 'hidden' . I was planning on doing these areas myself with a foam brush in Imron so I can touch up easily as required. However, without the hardner added, I'm in a quandry.

So without hardner in the color and no clear, the instruction sheets for DBC call for it to be scuffed, and reacoated with new color, then cleared within 48 hours.

Will the un catalyzed DBC be stable enough for the Imron directly?

There is another PPG product that is DBI (interior?) that doesnt need clear coating but although I can shoot, I'd rather not (again, convience of touch up).

All thoughts greatly apprecieated.
