That's exactly right. I use the stickers on the calipers to check brake fluid temps. The paint is for actual rotor-pad temps, which is what you need to check to make sure your pads are in the heat range they are designed for, or if you need to add more cooling (ducts).

Then I'm pretty sure most folks use Tempilaq, it's pricey though: |
Yep, that is pretty much the industry standard. And not just for motorsports. It really is an industrial product. And it's what I use for rotor temps. You can buy individual bottles, or a kit with a range depending on what you want data on.
