I want to remove my calipers for a few days in order to paint them. How do I stop any fluid from coming out? Yea he.

I usually use these types of plugs, but there are several different kinds. Search for 'brake line plug'

Thanks for the link to those plugs. They look like they would be very handy for a variety of things on the car.

Don't bother. Just hold the caliper in a position so the hose port is at the bottom and let them drain.
