the powdercoat gets soft and brake dust embeds in it, darkening the color. Some cars can handle powdercoated calipers and track use. The 370 can not. Maybe with cooling ducts, but I've gotten my calipers in excess of 600 degrees and it won't hold up to that. I have even melted silicone dust boots, which are designed for that temperature.

I've got a burple, a very dark candy blue, medium candy blue, Carribean blue from the G35, Monterey blue, and others.

Is this a problem for normal street use?

Nope. Only gets that hot on the track.....or if you were pushing the crap out of the car on the street. But that is practically impossible on street pads - your pads will go first, before your calipers will stay that hot lol.
