Alloys looking good, but what's underneath ahahha
 
Hi

Have a 2004 Titanium grey 231. Alloy wheels look really good, but I live in a climate which is "mostly moist". The problem is my R8s discs, pads and drums look very sad, rust etc. I was curious to learn what I can do about it. Can I just clean, prime and paint or is there anything special I can do to improve my looks? Any ideas or pictures what can be done would really be appreciated.

Thanks

you can paint the calipers and the centers of the disc brakes.. if you have drums on your 8 then i don't know what to tell you.

high temp paint should do the trick. clean, sand, clean then paint.

Just keep the paint off of the rotor faces. Calipers and rotor hats are fine.
