Where do you get the paint or stickers? I'll do this when I go back to TWS in a few weeks.

I had some uneven wear with the Stoptech SR34 pads, but the Carbotech XP-12s and the Cobalt Friction XR1s wore evenly. The Carbotechs wore so quickly that I went all the way through them and damaged the rotors at COTA. I replaced the rotors before my last event at TWS.

It took the first day to get used to the high torque of the Cobalt Friction, and they got ridiculously hot in the first few sessions as I got into the ABS several times. I really liked the bite once I adjusted my braking - they require a much lighter touch.
