I'm afraid the Custom Preview component does not bake the stuff it displays. You may either have to just bake the black lines first, assign them to the correct layer or assign the correct colour, then bake the white lines and modify them, or you can install some of the plugins that allow automated baking to specific layers or with specific attributes.

Hi,
As David said there are some plugins that allow baking with special attributes, like:
1- FabTools
2- Human
3- LunchBox
But actually you can make your own custom component using VB, C# or ghPython, here I've attach a very simple example of how to use C# to bake curves with specific color. Here is the code:

private void RunScript(bool bake, Curve curves, Color color)
{

  if(bake){

    Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectAttributes att = new Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectAttributes();

    att.ColorSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectColorSource.ColorFromObject;

    att.ObjectColor = color;

    doc.Objects.AddCurve(curves, att);

  }

}
