Ok I was going to use PPG shopline BC and DBC 2055 clear, but after all the reading here and hoping that shopline will cover in shadow gray, I am going to use diamont BC and DC-92 clear.

can anybody help with the P sheet it recommends using heat to dry the clear,
But the paint booth I'm renting doesn't have heat is this the wrong clear to use or can I air still air dry.

How long Before I can drive it home?

any help thanks

My car was painted with Diamont BC and DC 92 clear. I know for a fact it was not baked on and it's fine. I have a Diamont Technical Reference Manual and it says to bake it "for best results" but doesn't state that it's mandatory. Baking probably makes a harder finish and I do notice mine will show fine scratches easily. I'm guessing DC 92 is about like any other clear, in that it's harder when baked. The gloss (I wet sanded and buffed it myself) is excellent. It won "Best Paint" twice at local shows.
