Need a hand finishing my project!

Well, I'm reupholstering my door panels, a la this tutorial which has so far, been nice and easy. I have all the parts painted, and the vinyl glued to the appropriate peices. The problem I'm running into is getting the vinyl to stick to the plastic. My 5 minute epoxy doesn't want to hold to the vinyl, so I'm wondering if someone could reccomend me something. I'd like to have door panels back on my car for tomorrow

3m super 77 spray adhesive, it's what I used in the install bay, it's a black can and isn't cheap(over $10 a can), follow directions and it will hold

Killer. I do have a can of that, but I figgured the epoxy would be stronger. Thanks much

Looking really good right now. Paint drying on the handles is taking forever, as is the glue. If I weren't so impatient and had something better to do with my time, this would be way easier to deal with!

Be sure to scuff the plastic up just a little bit with some sandpaper, and use the 3M spray as metioned above. It will stick like a glove. I've done plenty interiors, it hold up really good when done right.
