Hey there, don't use dot brake fluids in your Maguras. Things will stick as the seals swell.
They use a light hydraulic oil, the Magura own brand is called Royal Blood and is blue and expensive!
People in my experience, find Citroen Hydraulic Suspension Fluid just as acceptable.

Have a squizz here....

Yeah, I've seen people using water, as well as baby oil. Or a mix with 5wt shock fluid. But definitely not DOT4!

Looking forward to hearing/seeing the results

After applying the water slides are you clear coating them or leaving as is ?

What's the method you'll use to fill and bleed them?

I have bought a magura bleeding kit £14.99 off amazon, comes with, syringes, pipes and fittings etc. nice little kit.

ill suck it straight out of the bottle, same as i would on my motorbike!

I got one of them, mine came with the blue fluid Royal blood or dragons blood .... or something like that

Very easy to us, can’t see how you’d manage without the syringes etc
Money well spent
 
Update

Decals applied, and 2 x clear coat applied.

Next pic will be of them on the bike!
