I just did a rattle can job. With proper prep and cleanliness it comes out looking just as good as the real deal. For the black I used Funcils black acrylic paint pens and they worked out great. Gave everything a satin clear coat and RideWrap sent over a full kit to keep everything protected. There is a full YouTube video of the paint job and build on the Better Bolts YouTube channel. As far as sanding I just scuffed the factory paint, got through most of the factory clear and then stopped. Didn't see the need to go back...

Agreed! Couldn't find them in stock when I was ordering parts for the build. Had those rotors in the past and they were awesome!

Thanks! This was a update/modification to a bike I have been riding for a little bit so some parts were purchased before the new gold theme was established. I have been a long time Magura fanboy so MT7 were probably still going to go on the bike however might not have gone with highlighter yellow knowing now the direction the build ended up going. The company I work for makes parts for TRP DHR Evos so these were definitely high on the list but ultimately went with the Racelines.

They're pretty good I haven't had any irregular issues. Just the occasional truing/tightening of the spokes. I have had a few sets of these rims and have only broken one of them but that was definitely not the rims fault, I don't think there is a rim on the market that would have held up to that type of hit.

To each their own. I happened to think the race lines were a nice break from the matchy matchy. Copper cassette was already on the bike and didn’t feel like dropping $600 on a cassette and chain just to switch up the color. When it wears out it’ll get matched. Also the crank stickers due to the extra thickness could not be printed on metallic material so they have a more bronze look to them which matches the drive train well.
