Brake calipper paint issue!?

Jonny essex said:
Ive had both brakes discs, calipper carriers and brake pads replaced now, the vibration has gone, the smell of cooked brakes too however the the disc that was glowing red hot even tho its all new is still warmer then the other brake disc????

This sounds a bit whacky but i have read about similar issue a while back on a US porsche forum & it stemmed from the rear hub of the alloys having been painted :? something about the heat not dissipating due to the paint/wheel hub bonding ? ?

thats an interesting one to consider.

So id there anything you can do to service them at all to try and prelong their life? you know along the lines of cleaning etc?

im sort of in the keep them silver (maybe red) camp and was considering doing mine with a tin/brush but maybe now ill leave them alone
