As with so many of these things I would strongly recommend that you test it first on a surface that will not be seen or prefferably a piece of sprue. Brake fluid is very corrosive and can attack many surfaces and not just the paint itself.

I once soaked a part of a bike model overnight in humbrol thinners to remove some gloss enamel and the plastic went completely soft.

I always test first.
