did you seriously just ask if it was possible to jack the car up in your garage??? and how would it take any longer painting them all or painting them one by one? still have to take the same amount of time removing and installing them.

it will take longer if i do it 1 by 1 because it says in the manual that u have to wait at least 2 hours after painting to put back the tire!!
So i guess i have to buy 4 jackstands ...thants it ?? thanks GeeTeeEss lol

HAH thats awesome.
Why would you have to wait 2 hours to put the tire back on? I would think as long as you really don't drive anywhere it would be fine.
Did you get caliper paint in a spray can? I have found that the Dupli-Color kit that comes in a tiny paint can with a brush is the best one to use.

yea its so hot here mine dried in like 15 mins and i did like 3 layers and was driving within a hour. i was thinking of getting the paint can and brush one but its like 3 times more for probally the same grade paint. take your time and do one side at a time or something, or be more patient. i did mine one at a time it didnt take long. how much longer could it take to jack up one at time 5 mins each maybee. you dont have to wait just dont touch the paint with your wheel when you put it back on the car.
