Actually, the powdercoat melted at Barber, and the darkness is a combo of being burnt and brake dust embedding in it when it was soft. That was on the stock calipers running carbotech xp12 pads.

Unfortunately, good track pads dust like a freight train.

I think the brakes get so hot that the powdercoat fades. I know Mike has told me that powdercoated brakes will turn that color when tracking. He can chime in though.

Carbon_z · 03-21-2013, 01:39 PM

I figured thats what it was from but I know a track car brake/wheels tend to be alot hotter than the normal driven cars. ESP considering Mike is setting records on 370z track times lol.

Mike · 03-22-2013, 05:22 PM

My digital thermometer showed 650, but it's only supposed to be accurate to 450

Carbon_z · 03-23-2013, 01:20 AM

Fudge that's hot!! Lol.

Mike, i'm looking for that clear-ish painter style tape you used on your wife's Z4 that time you took it to the track. I don't want to use blue painters tape if i can help it.

Thanks mike, repped.

KaienZ34 · 03-29-2013, 11:55 AM

Did it leave any glue residue on the piant when you peeled it off the car?

Mike · 03-29-2013, 07:58 PM

no, it leaves no residue. I can use it on top of cured powdercoat, throw another layer of coating over it, cure it and peel it off with no residue.
