Jacking up my W169 A-class

For some dumb reason I would like to paint my Brake calipers.
My axle stands are about 14 inches high so the car will require a decent lift to get it on 'em.
I've looked at "home use" trolley jacks but not sure if they will go under the car's skirts.
Looked at Bottle jacks but they no longer seem to have a decent, well fitting, saddle.
The titchy two-bob piece sized piston tops look a bit dodgy for the lift required.
Please put me right guys.
 
Bless you for that Will.
The front skirt on the car looks a bit low but I suppose I could use the car's scissor jack to lift it enough to get the trolley jack under.
Storage, and even putting it in the boot also make a bottle jack look attractive.
The more I look the more confused I get.
