Unhappy AKEBONO discoloration after brake bedding procedure!!!

After doing the brake bedding procedure to get rid of minor brake judder, and possible brake pad deposits on the rotor, my calipers turned a different color from all the Heat. They got smoking hot and the smell was pretty bad. I did do several more than the recommended 10 stop and go passes, never experiencing brake fade, but I never expected this to happen. After 8 plus years of regularly going through threads on g37 forum I've never heard or seen it happen before. It's not the first time I've done the procedure, and a quick search didn't provide any answers. I'm not exactly happy about it..... All original parts. I bought the car new. 2013 SDN
