Bentley Expands Range of Satin Paint Finishes for Greater Personalisation Options

June 1, 2024

Bentley Motors has expanded its bespoke exterior satin paint finish range to 15 unique color options, responding to customers’ desire for even more opportunities to personalize their Bentley cars. The expanded palette offers a diverse choice, from classic and understated tones to bolder and contemporary colors, ensuring that there is a perfect option to complement every Bentley model to its owners' liking.

Every Bentley that features a satin finish takes up to 55 hours to be painted, with the finish hand-applied by Bentley’s craftsmen and women in the Excellence Centre for Bespoke Paint. The car first arrives in its gloss color, before being hand-sanded, cleaned, masked, then dusted and cleaned again before a clear lacquer is hand-applied in two stages in order to achieve a perfect and uniform satin finish. As with all Bentley vehicles, each car is inspected and signed off by an independent Production Quality Team that ensures every surface of every panel will exceed the customer’s expectations. In the future, all satin paints will be applied to Bentley’s cars in its new, state-of-the-art Paint Shop, which is due to be completed in 2025.

After drawing inspiration from design technologies and trends to identify new colors to suit our customers' preferences, each satin paint finish is developed by a team of experts at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England, undergoing a meticulous set of testing processes that ensure the paint finish reflects Bentley’s commitment to the finest craftsmanship, quality, and durability across every aspect of its cars.

Satin paint finishes are unique in the way they interact with light particles – scattering them across the surface of the car rather than reflecting them like gloss finishes do, meaning the satin paints accentuate the styling lines of Bentley’s cars in a way that gloss finishes don’t always.

2023 was a record year for Mulliner uptake, with 75 percent of Bentley customers choosing to add Mulliner content to their car. The expansion of Bentley’s range of satin paint finishes by Mulliner exemplifies the brand’s dedication to offering its customers limitless options to personalize their car. Along with the variety of exterior and interior options, the expanded satin paint range allows customers to truly express their individuality, whether they are looking for a timeless and elegant aesthetic or a more dynamic and modern look. In addition to the fifteen satin paint finishes, customers may also choose to specify an entirely bespoke satin color with the help of Mulliner’s in-house design team.

All 15 of Bentley’s satin paint finishes will be available to apply across the brand’s entire product range – Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible, Bentayga, Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, and Flying Spur. The satin paint finishes are also options for customers of Bentley’s recently announced Mulliner Batur Convertible, the third coachbuilt Bentley of the modern era.
