I bought the duplicolor adhesion promoter from Meijer, couldn't find Bulldog. I embarked on the same route painting parts of the door panels and the defroster vents, etc. Didn't get too extreme but it sure is a PITA to get it just right. Best of luck Zach looks well so far!! Blades
P.S. Autozone carries it as well!!

i used both, but mainly bulldog just because the paint shop i was going to recommended it. the duplicolor adhesion promoter is nice just because the duplicolor fan nozzles are nice, but i think either one would be equally effective.

i've had good luck finding duplicolor adhesion promoter at kragen/autozone. bulldog seems to be more of a specialty item, and i usually only see it at paint shops, and walmart occasionally.

Haha, yeah, When I put my Mustang interior back together, I had a couple screws left over... I thought I go them all... oh well, it's not going to fall apart, but it'll be awful noisy w/o any sound damping in it...haha.
