Question then how hot do calipers get under hard track braking conditions?Depends on your driving style and the track. A couple of years ago, a group of us NSXers at a local track event compared brake temperatures with a laser pyrometer. The hottest was a supercharged NSX with stock brakes. (Personally speaking I don't understand why someone will modify their engine to add +100 HP but ignore the brakes. Kinda dumb.) His brake temperatures was over 400°F. Industrial plastic coatings typically melt at 250-300°F. Like I said in my first post under this thread - driving "mildly" on the street shouldn't harm the plastic coating. However, if you track your NSX........
