Default Vinyl Wrap Interior - 3M FastBond 30NF

I'm looking to wrap my interior with vinyl. I already bought 8 yards of Whisper Black vinyl from Jo-Ann's (half off at $11/yard).

Now I need to get some good contact cement. From what I've been reading 3M FastBond 30NF is what I should use. Others on here have used it. Where did you get it and how much was it? I'm seeing it vary wildly in prices. I see a 1 quart bottle of it on Amazon for $40 shipped (but its labeled as pool table cushion adhesive, the picture is right though). That sounds expensive. Is that a good price? How much would I need? (my guess is definitely more than 1 quart) I also see a listing on ebay for $20 shipped (that is a more palatable price).

Thanks for the link. It doesn't say which glue to use or where to get it though (unless I missed it).

Is the vinyl you bought treated for outdoors? Marine vinyl is. What you bought might fade.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it will be OK.

I know its not marine vinyl though since marine vinyl is usually shiny and this stuff isn't. Its a soft matte texture.

Plus, I live in New England so it won't be as bad as TX or CA.

This will probably be a slow as-time-available project.

I'll post pics as I complete parts.
(Hopefully I'll remember to post some progress pics too.)

Right now, I'm waiting for the glue to arrive.

I'm also changing my door inserts and radio bezel to blue instead of silver.
(I had already swapped the door inserts to silver a few years ago.)

Zero progress, but I think I have all he supplies I need. Although I may end up needing more glue.

I just need to have my schedule and the weather cooperate (usually, one or the other is good, but not both at the same time).

I also have plans for a new radio bezel.
