Lifting point info/Jacking Point Info

I am going to paint my brake calipers. I have a floor jack and can lift the car but since the paint has to dry for two hours I really need to have the entire car off the ground at one time. Is is okay to lift the car from the jacking points than block it under the rocker panels next to the lift points? I really don't want to kink the rocker panels in the process. Am I better off to lift the car with the jack under the rear end and put it on stands and then do the front end? If this is the preferred method, where do I place the jack for the front end lift? I don't have the luxury of having a hydraulic lift so I will have to jack up the car section by section and then block it as I go. Any help would really be appreciated.
