This is how I did it!
Since I got a few emails already inquiring about how to do this, I offered the link below.
There were a few issues I came across that you need to be aware of.
1. the s4 logos didn't come in the mail until a month after I ordered them. Ryan Smith will eventually get the S4 stickers to you, but to prompt quicker service, ask for your money back, and he'll send them right away.
2. do your laundry, chores, work while waiting inbetween sprays. be efficient with your time. i watched a lot of TV and did my laundry.. 3 loads. a new record for me in a day.
3. before even thinking about putting your s4 stickers on, make sure the brake calipers are COMPLETELY DRY. I had trouble with this. It felt dry to the touch, but the undercoats were still wet and came right off. I was left with silver batches. I have to reorder a pair of rear stickers, because of this. I would wait at least 2 hours before putting the logos on. What I did with the front you see in the picture is I left it over night, and when I had another chance, I reapplied brakleen, stuck the S4 sticker on, then applied the clear coat.
4. get two cans of brakleen. They run out fast, because it's entertaining to spray the dirt and oil off.
5. 4 jack stands or hydraulic lift for best efficiency. I did one at a time. It took sooooooooo long.
6. start on the rears first, b/c they are smaller, and not as noticible if you mess up.
7. the clear coat needs to be applied lightly. I know this is said in the instructions, but too much in the same area will coz the black paint to foam up and look like crap!
8. hope this helps, enjoy!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/79030.phtml">These are the instructions I used.</a></li></ul>
