Painting Rims

[RBwhatever]

Hi guys, pretty soon I'll be putting a fresh lick of paint on my rims. Now since its best to paint them all at once (saves time and ease of painting), I need to take them off all at once to do so. I don't have a hoist or spare rims to whack on in the meantime.

So whats to best way to support the car when it hasn't got any rims? I was thinking of putting it up on bricks, should that be ok?

Thanks fellas

yeah you could do that, But I would prob put wood underneath the car inbetween the brick and metal just so uve got a shock absorber if something goes wrong...

I also wack under a tyre or two under the hubs and centre of the car obviously again incase it drops for some bizare reason it doesnt distroy everything..

Make sure its on flat ground... low wind and no earth quakes n u should b rite ...

alternatively borrow a flat jak and do two at a time..

Steer away from the bricks if you can champ, not really the safest of options

Do you have or can you borrow some jack stands at all??? They are your best option to use if you ask me and one of the safest!!!

Worst case scenario buy 2 from your local Supercheap (there only $30ish) and do 2 wheels at a time

Thanks for that guys. got them painted. I ended up doing 2 at a time. I used a couple of jacks on the car to lift up each end.

Cheers
