Powder coating wheels
 
I want to have my rims powder coated but have a problem. Have to take off all 4-wheels and drop them off. Then wait a week and put them back on. What is the best & easiest way to jack up and block the car while the work is being done? Any help is appreciated

If you have a harbor freight nearby you can get 2 pairs of 3 ton jack stands and a floor jack, and lift the car and put it on the stands. Walmart also sells jack stands and jack stands as well as most auto parts stores. I guess you could also round up 3 spare tire/wheel combos and put those on.

To jack the car there are several good threads here, and also this article:

I borrowed another flood jack and did what steved0x recommended. Just go slow especially when lowering it on to the jack stands.

LOL!

Yes, I wonder if I install a checkerboard floor, and floor to ceiling mirrors in my garage, it will be bigger?
