Today, Bentley Motors reveals a one-off personal commission, displaying one of the most complex paint offerings to date – Ombre by Mulliner. Painted by hand at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England, the new exterior finish carefully transitions between two paint colours over the length of the car, with a truly stunning result . This new technique is now available to order, in three different colour combinations, from Mulliner – the bespoke division of Bentley.

The car is sprayed first in the contrast colours to the front and rear of the vehicle. The blend is then applied in stages using paint that has been tinted using traditional paint mixing methods to achieve the Ombre effect. This overall fade effect takes two paint technicians approximately 56 hours to apply. This time is required to achieve the correct blend of paint. Due to the complexity of how the two paints combine, the choice of colours that that are available have been specifically curated. This ensures a uniform and gradual transition between the two. Each paint colour behaves differently on application; therefore, the Paint Technician must react to this during the application of the blend. This means each car will be unique but will look perfect to the naked eye.
