Brake flush

My brake fluid has had it. It's that lovely black looking color that just won't match anything I have to wear! Seriously though, how do I flush my brake system?

Bleed them; keep adding fluid as the MC gets low. Start with the right rear, then the left rear, then the right front and left front. Keep bleeding until the fluid comes out clean.

I use one of those turkey baster thingy's...and suck all the bad fluid out of the master cylinder THEN pour some new fluid in and bleed all the brakes until it comes out clear I usually fill it twice to make sure I get all the bad outta the lines too. ...I was told to do that since you really dont want to run that nasty black fluid thru your lines cause it does have dirt particles in it....
