APV A-1339-01 Gloss White Aircraft Wheel and Brake Paint – Gallon for Landing Gear Maintenance
APV Engineered Coatings A-1339-01 is a gloss white aircraft wheel and brake paint providing the same high-temperature resistance, corrosion protection, and maintenance durability as APV’s A-8367 gray wheel paint, but in the gloss white color specification used by certain commercial aircraft operators, airline livery requirements, and civilian aviation applications where white wheel assemblies are specified as part of the aircraft’s visual appearance standard.
White wheel assemblies are common on commercial aircraft where the airline’s maintenance standard or manufacturer’s specification calls for white wheel paint as the standard color. The gloss finish provides a bright, clean appearance that aids visual inspection of wheel condition — cracks, corrosion, and damage are easier to detect on a clean white surface than on gray or unpainted metal. Regular maintenance repainting with A-1339-01 keeps wheel assemblies in specified condition and aids the airworthiness inspection process.
The gallon can provides the volume required for wheel shop operations processing multiple aircraft in a maintenance cycle, with sufficient material for complete wheel assembly coating per the applicable aircraft maintenance documentation.

Technical Information
APV A-1339-01 uses a thermally stable binder system with white pigmentation — titanium dioxide-based for bright, opaque white coverage — combined with corrosion inhibitors providing active protection of underlying aluminum and steel wheel structure. The gloss finish is achieved through the pigment particle size distribution and binder system formulation, which creates a smooth, reflective surface compared to the matte or satin finish of other wheel paint products.
The high-temperature resistance of A-1339-01 enables the coating to maintain adhesion and appearance through the repeated thermal cycling generated by aircraft braking during landing and taxi operations. The gloss white coating also reflects rather than absorbs radiant heat compared to gray or black coatings, potentially reducing the thermal load on the wheel assembly surface during extended taxi operations in hot weather.
Wheel surface preparation for A-1339-01 follows the same requirements as other wheel paints — thorough removal of brake dust, grease, and surface oxidation before coating application. The gloss white finish is particularly sensitive to surface contamination during application — substrate cleanliness and application environment cleanliness are important for achieving the specified gloss level and appearance in the cured coating.
