Paints
Colour is intensely personal. That’s why Bentley offers more standard colours than any other car manufacturer – each one carefully selected to complement the unique designs of its cars. A wide range of finishes are available, from Solid and Metallic colours to the striking Pearlescent and Satin finishes offered by Mulliner. Duo-Tone designs can be selected from a choice of 24 combinations, while hand-painted fine lines can also be commissioned – a stunning example of the precision of Bentley’s craftspeople.
While machines are involved in some aspects of the paint process at the factory today, experienced craftspeople are always heavily involved, just as they have been since the earliest days of the company. To sand and polish a single Bentley Mulsanne, for example, it takes a team of highly trained people up to 12 hours.
Mulliner takes Bentley’s colour craftsmanship even further, offering a near-limitless range of colours, thanks to digital colour matching. Customers need only provide a sample of a favourite colour and it can be replicated throughout their car – from the exterior finish to the hides, stitching and details throughout the interior.
