The painstaking painting process is crucial to ensuring the opulence of Bentley cars. Each car undergoes thorough preparation involving cleansing, degreasing, and multiple layers of paint, including a clear coat, to achieve a flawless finish. The factory boasts a capacity to paint up to 400 car bodies weekly, with professionals only satisfied when the finish is immaculate.
A process dubbed "mirror finish" sees every car polished with Lamb's wool for up to 12 hours. This extravagant attention to detail and finishing is why Bentley offers a staggering variety of custom paint colors—nearly 100 base colors and over 140 exterior shades are available, further heightening the bespoke nature of each vehicle.
