I am going to paint my calipers with the G2 caliper paint system. After i mix the paint, i only have two hours for application of two coats and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could lift my max to get all four wheels up at the same time, without an actual car lift of course. thanks.

get a nice jack..and 4 jack stands........

 

jack it and stand it one by one only way i would think to do it

 

Mix half he paint at a time. Also you have 4-6 hours of working time. You have 2 hrs of curing time, before you put the wheels back on.

 

I did mine one at a time using the spare tire jack. Took me exactly 3 hours doing it this way. Used the caliper paint from Pepboys and coated 3 times each after each dry and put the wheel back on even before drying so I can work on the next wheel.

 

Buy yourself a decent jack and 4 jackstands and put the car up in the air. Easiest way and you will get a life of use out of those stands and jack for your further adventures with cars.

 

Just buy the proper equipment! It might save your life. Buy atleast a 2 1/2 ton floor jack (or else the wheel wont be high enough). Around $50 at Walmart.

You could use the factory lift if you really have too. Make sure the parking brake is up.

 

one jack on cross member and one jack stand on each side on the rear. they sell this setup in sears for like 50 bux or so on sale

 

just bought 2 jack stands for 10$ (for the pair) and a 2.5ton jack for 15$ from walmart. u can buy 4 jackstands and a 2.5ton jack for less than 40$ at walmart

 

Yeah but those, the jack not stands, only go what, 14-17" high? It's enough for this job but if you're under the car for a long time having it as high as possible is a good thing.

 

Yea, I agree with Dave, I cheaped out and bought something like up to 17" for only $20, but now feel as though I need the next step (like the $50ones)...it just wasn't comfortable changing tranny fluid with the car that low...my best advice is don't cheap out, and get the right stuff the first time.

 

Get a floor jack, and four jack stands!!!!!!
The jack stands will give you plenty of room underneath.
Their pretty cheap as well.
Trust me, their a good investment.

 

Thanks for the input guys, looks like im gonna be gettin a jack and floor stands.
