Bentley Brings Hand-Painted Ombré Finish to Flying Spur for Boat Show Debut

The two‑tone fade arrives on the saloon through a 60‑hour Mulliner process debuting at the Southampton International Boat Show.

Overview

  • The colour‑fade treatment is applied to a four‑door sedan for the first time, following an earlier Continental GT showcase at Monterey.
  • Public display is scheduled for the Southampton International Boat Show from September 19 to 28, with the launch car transitioning from Topaz Blue to Windsor Blue.
  • The finish is sprayed entirely by hand at Bentley’s Crewe Dream Factory by two paint technicians over nearly 60 hours.
  • Curated colourways at launch also include Sunburst Gold to Orange Flame and Tungsten to Onyx, with further combinations to follow.
  • The option is reported to cost £48,000 on the Flying Spur, with the controlled process designed to avoid unintended third colours and produce unique results.
