Default Brake Pad Paint Peel

For my last track day, I installed Hawk DTC-60 pads. They did not come with shims and, I installed them that way. They were bedded in by doing 80-30 mph braking intervals until I experienced fade.

On the track they felt great. Initial bite was forceful and immediate.

Afterwards, I swapped to my street setup (EBC RedStuff). I noticed the Hawk pads' paint were cracking and peeling. I'm wondering if OEM shims or TI shims would help with this. I'm concerned about excessive heat transfer to the pistons, boot, and seals.
