Default Painting calipers and new rotors

I wanted to see if anyone has any experience removing calipers and placing an X-Type on jack stands overnight.

I am thinking about getting some drilled and slotted rotors and painting the calipers with epoxy silver colored caliper paint (and get some Jaguar lettering in red).

How difficult is it to remove the calipers (I have never worked on a foreign car before)?

Also, where are the points to place the jack stands (gotta let the epoxy paint dry overnight). Does the car have four wheel independent suspension (if so, that should be easy to figure out) - just place the jack stands at the ends of the cross member right?

Also, looking to put in some APC screens in the "hood grill" and lower opening under the bumper. That should be easy though.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish, something similar to my Vette.... as soon as she comes out of storage from the winter, the Cat goes in for some cool stuff - can't wait[8D]

Default RE: Painting calipers and new rotors

Not sure about the jack points on the jack, but when i rotated my tires, i raised the rear by the rear diff and the front by the left and right lower control assembly.

As for the calipers, check out this guys:

I personally won't go through that kind of trouble, but they do look good.
