Bulldog Adhesive Spray...

I'm ready to install my scripts but I can't find this Bull Dog Adhesive Spray or Promoter that the posts have used... Does anybody know where to buy this at? I've been to lowes, home depot, autzone and oreilly's and no luck...

Not needed, just use 3M double sided tape.

If you are going to paint plastic parts such as splash guards or interior plastic panels use the Bull Dog which acts as a primer and the paint will stick to it. The only place I have found it is at Walmart in the automotive section.

I didnt use it to install my scripts. cleaned the area of wax with a dish rag that I had dipped in the sink with some DAWN in the water and then I wiped the area clean with a rag with alcohol on it. Pressed script and held in place for about 2 mins. just keep area dry for 24 hours.
I too couldnt find the bulldog anywhere local. online only

I've looked for it before but cannot find it anywhere around St. Louis.

Not even at Walmarts here...

I've used the Bulldog adhesion promoter when painting plastics and don't like it. It doesn't go on very smooth and a texture can be seen after the paint is applied. I've found the DupliColor stuff much better and easier to find. That's for painting, for what you're doing use the 3M tape.

hey digital, make sure you press the tape to the script good after all the cutting out you had to do.

Well they are done... I have two hood scripts and a smaller one on the glove box. I had two more for the rear interior but for some reason the first one wouldn't stick. I think I'm gonna have to clean the surface better... but 3 out of 5 aint bad... You can see them in this thread... https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/appearance-modifications-discussions-6/id-like-introduce-black-betty-15613/ ... and thanks to everybody who helped out with the info and tips...
