You wanna rendermap it. The gist of it is: 1. Set your renderer to mentalray if it isn't already. 2. Select your mesh with UVs, give it a Constant material. In it, get a Color Map Lookup node and pick your weightmap from the list. Hook it up to the color or however you wish to use it. 3. In the rendertree, get an go to Get, Property->RenderMap. 4. Tell it where to save, what resolution and format. Also change "Map" to *"Surface color only (albedo)"* 5. Click "Regenerate Maps..." up top. If nothing errored, go look for your image.
If you wanna play with the colors, you could hook the lookup node to a simple mixer's weight and blend between two colors of your choice. (You could for instance use Red and Green then extract the channels to get two maps out of your one map.)
