I would try the epoxy, but I would test it in a small area first.

If it's OK, make sure to scuff up the plastic with a green scrub pad or steel wool first to give the surface some tooth.

I would believe what is written on the epoxy and go buy a different one

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

There are some 3M double sided tapes that are supposed to be good for rocker panels etc
