Default Jacking the car up

Hey guys so I'm gonna be painting my brake calipers tomorrow. In order to do this I need to be able to remover all 4 wheels at once. So I'm thinking I'm gonna put the car up on 4 jack stands and was wondering if you guys had any advice on how to do that. From what I've read online it seems I should lift the front up and then the back and not do side to side.
Is this what you guys recommend? Any thoughts would be really helpful.

It actually shows you in the owners manual were you should Jack it from. Check that out first. I was looking thru it the other day and probably saw something about it.

Front then back

While the front jack point is pretty easy to see...the back one is a little further in

Awesome! Thanks guys, I didn't think that would be in the owner's manual for some reason. If anyone is wondering what page its on for future reference, its on page 292 of the U.S. (maybe Canada as well) Owner's manual.

Thanks again guys, I'll post pictures of the work in progress as well as the final product.

Well I can't just say it can I? That would take all the fun out of it! Haha. When they're dry and I get the wheels back on, I'll post a picture in my build thread.
