IS it absoluely necessary to put the czr up on fouir axle stands to paint the break calipers properly? IS it possible to do one at a time? Any disadvantage to doing so? I must admit to being very nervous about getting the car up on "all fours." I fear it falling off. If it is necesary or preferable to go that route, how does one proceed (other than very carefully). Is there a recommended sequence? (I hope to be able to do just one at a time. Thanks for anwsers to what must seem like a dorky question.

 

Sorry for typos in my earlier post.

 

I painted mine one at a time, no problem. I can't see a benefit to getting all 4 off the ground.

 

there is a huge benifit to putting all fours up... Time is one

paint one - move to the next etc etc

the car will be fine on jack stands

 

I am inclined to do the calipers in red on my MY05 Silverstone. Opinions on this combination? Is it classy? Garish? What do you think?

 

Thanks for the several responses to my initial question.

 

I think the car is MORE stable on 4 stands than one at a time. It will take you HOURS to do one at a time. I did them all at once. I could move from one brake to the next and apply 4-5 coats on each. By the time I made it all the way around the car it was time for the next coat. If you do one at a time, I might worry about the paint in the can drying up on you by the last one.

I like red on silverstone:
