I'll check out that paint - but it seems hard as you try, a little fluid trickles down and eats the paint off - leaving a rust trail soon behind.
By the way - if I use a siphon air gun and hook the siphon hose to the brake bleeder - then deposit the air out tip in a bucket...will that work to pull a vacuum? (poor man's tool).

Yes -- that should work - just remembering that the brake fluid WILL FIND IT'S WAY TO THE PRETTIEST PAINTED PART IN THE SHOP... Maybe try covering the bucket in a dampened towel - and wire tie or duct tape it tightly to the top of the bucket and then just poke your "deposit end" through a hole in the towel/shop rag. You wouldn't want a fine mist of brake fluid floating around in the air and getting on something!!
It's like a hammer -- a hammer is used to find the most expensive part nearest the item you're trying to hit.
