Bentley Motors has revealed a one-of-a-kind personal commission featuring one of its most intricate paint finishes ever—Ombre by Mulliner. This innovative, handcrafted paint technique was developed at Bentley’s renowned Dream Factory in Crewe, England, and is now available for order through Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division.
What is Bentley’s Ombre Paint Finish?
The Ombre paint finish is a highly complex and visually stunning gradient effect that transitions seamlessly between two distinct colors along the body of the car. Hand-applied by Bentley’s expert paint technicians, this advanced process requires approximately 56 hours of meticulous work to achieve the perfect blend.
Key Features:
Seamless color transition over the length of the vehicleThree curated color combinations available
Hand-applied using traditional paint mixing and spraying techniques
Each application is unique due to the natural behavior of the paints
The process begins with the vehicle sprayed in contrasting colors at the front and rear. Then, a carefully tinted paint blend is applied in multiple stages to create the signature Ombre effect. Due to the complexity and precision required, only a limited selection of color pairs is available to ensure a consistent and flawless finish.
