Default Removing Calipers

Hey guys I am taking the calipers off of my car to send out for powder coat. I would prefer to not loose all of the brake fluid so bleeding the brakes will be easier when I put the calipers back on. Have any of you guys removed a caliper for a long period of time and what did you do to prevent the fluid from leaking out of the line?

nut, bolt, and the copper washers. you put one washer on the bolt, slide it through the brake line, put the other washer on, and pop the nut on.
