You do it by.... performing a search... or better yet.... did you even try the DIY forum? It's right there at the top. Sorry no link for the lazy... go to the forum and you'll find quickly.

yeah, it's really simple. My only suggestion is that you raise one side of your car at a time, and not just one wheel. That way you can swap from one wheel to another and by the time you're done painting a new coat, the other wheel has dried. It really cuts down on the time.
