As the Dr. said, it sounds like you forgot to compress the caliper piston.
BE SURE TO REMOVE THE CAP FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BEFORE COMPRESSING THE CALIPER PISTON.
If you want to remove the caliper completely for a thorough cleanig before painting (cleaning is highly recommended before painting), you'll need new copper crush washers when you re-attach the brake line. Do not attempt to re-use these; they will leak. And brake fluid is highly caustic (it will wreak havoc on your skin and painted surfaces).
