Not painted on the braking surface, correct?
re the hand brake, that is the mechanism that sets caliper piston spin out, so the pad stays close to the rotor.
If a caliper piston is hanging, it will hold the pad very near, in contact with the rotor and yeah it will wear prematurely and get quite hot.
Jack the car up and see if that wheel is moving freely or if the pad is still hanging on the rotor. If hanging, you need a new, rebuilt caliper....
You could try a bunch of things, like bleeding and resetting, but each cycle takes time and is aggravating when it doesn't work.
Wifes ride = new calipers, in my book.
