Matte and satin paint finishes have taken off in recent years, and Bentley has just introduced an expanded palette of satin paint options for its cars.

The company is now offering 15 unique satin paint options for its vehicles. Each car receiving a satin finish first arrives at the Excellence Center for Bespoke Paint in a gloss color before it is hand-sanded, cleaned, masked, dusted, and cleaned a second time. The firm’s expert craftsmen and women then apply a clear lacquer in two stages to achieve the perfect satin finish.

Last year, 75% of all Bentley customers added bespoke Mulliner content to their car. When Bentley finishes work on its new paint shop in 2025, all future satin paints will be applied there. Pricing details for the new satin colors haven’t been announced but it shouldn’t be an issue for the brand’s customers.

The extended range of satin options comes just before Bentley lifts the veil on the 2025 Continental GT. The new model will feature a plug-in hybrid twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 pumping out 771 hp and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, significantly more than the 650 hp and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of the outgoing W12.
