You clearly not using the brakes as hard as some people, and there is nothing wrong with that. The total number of miles has little of anything to do with the durability of paint on a caliper. What matters is how hard the brakes are used, such as under towing loads or very long downhill situations.

It is not at all uncommon for a performance street pad to be in the 800 to 1,000 degree range. This kind of performance pad is very much like what is found on a truck because the brakes have to be capable of handling the towing stress. Regular spray paint is just not designed for that kind of heat.

The G2 product is a real performance product and has the capability of dealing with a true track pad, and as an example my Hawk Blue pads work in the 1,200 to 1,400 degree range.
