APV A-8367 Aeroprime Gray Aircraft Wheel and Brake Paint – Gallon for Landing Gear Maintenance
APV Engineered Coatings A-8367 Aeroprime is a specialized gray aircraft wheel and brake paint formulated to withstand the extreme thermal cycling, mechanical abuse, and corrosive environment experienced by aircraft landing gear wheel and brake assemblies. Aircraft wheels and brakes are exposed to temperatures generated by braking action on landing and taxi operations that can significantly stress standard coating systems — A-8367 Aeroprime’s high-temperature resistant formulation maintains coating integrity, corrosion protection, and adhesion under these demanding thermal conditions.
Aircraft wheel and brake coating is an important maintenance item — uncoated or inadequately coated wheel surfaces are susceptible to corrosion from brake dust deposits, moisture, and runway chemical deicing agents that accelerate metal degradation and can compromise the structural integrity of the wheel. Regular repainting of wheel assemblies with an approved wheel and brake paint is a standard aircraft maintenance practice.
The gallon can provides the production-scale quantity for wheel shop operations, landing gear maintenance facilities, and heavy maintenance events where multiple wheel assemblies are processed through the coating operation in a single maintenance cycle.

Technical Information
APV A-8367 Aeroprime is formulated with a thermally stable binder system — typically an epoxy or modified epoxy — that maintains adhesion and cohesive integrity at the elevated temperatures generated by aircraft braking. The gray pigment provides a clean, professional finish that aids visual inspection of wheel condition and damage detection during pre-flight and maintenance walkarounds. Corrosion inhibitors in the formulation provide active protection of the underlying aluminum or steel wheel structure against the electrochemical corrosion accelerated by moisture and brake dust deposits.
The Aeroprime name indicates this product combines primer-level corrosion protection with a finished coating appearance — providing both structural protection and aesthetic finish in a single coating application, simplifying the wheel coating process compared to separate primer and topcoat systems that would require two application cycles and extended drying time between coats.
Before applying A-8367 Aeroprime, wheel surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of brake dust, grease, and oxidation by abrasive blasting or mechanical cleaning and chemical treatment per the applicable aircraft maintenance manual wheel shop procedures. Contaminated surfaces significantly reduce coating adhesion and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is APV A-8367 Aeroprime?
A: A-8367 Aeroprime is a gray aircraft wheel and brake paint providing high-temperature corrosion-inhibiting coating for aircraft landing gear wheel and brake assemblies during overhaul and maintenance.
Q: MPN for APV A-8367 Gallon?
A: MPN is A-8367-1GL.
Q: Why is special paint needed for aircraft wheels?
A: Aircraft wheels experience extreme thermal cycling from braking, plus corrosive brake dust, moisture, and deicing chemicals — conditions that degrade standard coatings rapidly. A-8367 is formulated specifically for these demanding conditions.
Q: Is A-8367 a primer or topcoat?
A: A-8367 Aeroprime combines primer-level corrosion protection with a finished gray appearance — functioning as both primer and topcoat in a single application, simplifying the wheel coating process.
Q: How should wheels be prepared before applying A-8367?
A: Thoroughly remove brake dust, grease, and oxidation by blasting or mechanical cleaning and chemical treatment per the applicable wheel shop maintenance procedure. Surface contamination significantly reduces coating adhesion.
