pump the brake pedal a few times when your engine is off. If theres pressure, just remember to top off your brake fluid

do your brakes feel spungy if they do you need to bleed your brakes you most likely have air in your system i would recomend doing front and back start with your RR then LR then RF and LF after you bleed them check your level if you need to put fluid in it make sure its DOT 3

if you disconnected the lines to paint the calipers then you must bleed them make sure your brake fluid level is toped off.

Try gravity bleeding them, basically open both front bleeder valves and remove the cap to the master cylinder and keep adding brake fluid to the master cylinder until the fluid runs clean with no bubbles. Just make sure you don't let the master cylinder run dry, and don't pump the pedal until both valves are closed and the master cylinder cap is back on. I've used this method 100's of times when I turned wrenches for a living, the only down side is that you use a bit more fluid.

you should probably bleed them

pump the brake with the car off and see what happens when u put new brakes on u have to pump them. Make sure fluid is level if it needs more then put more also if u need to repeat the process over again to ake sure there is enough brake fluid in the cylinder

Once when I work for a Ford dealer, I gave a car a tune up, oil change, and a set of shocks only to find out I had the wrong car.

We had a mechanic do struts, shocks, transmission flush, coolant flush, and tune up on the wrong car once. We didn't realize he had the wrong car until after the car came back from detailing. Two white maximas, same year. One was due in to get all of that work done, the other one was just having a taillight assembly replaced.
