Good news for Bentley lovers, the four-door flagship model will be available in 115 ’standard colours’ and Bentley says that any colour or shade can be applied to the Mulsanne according to customer desires. Prices for the Bentley Mulsanne will start at £220,000 and it will be available to buy later this year.

The first step, before the painting process begins, Bentley takes the bare metal Mulsanne body shell and dips it into several different tanks, each of which provides the body shell with a specific treatment such as de-greasing, cleaning, conditioning, rinsing and application of a phosphate layer.

The Mulsanne is then lowered into an electro-coating tank, in which the charged metal bodywork attracts particles-in-solution that forms into a hard protective shell of rust-proof zinc primer. A two-coat primer is then applied by hand, likewise for the basecoat. Bentley states that using a robot to paint the primer and topcoat of the Mulsanne would achieve inferior results in comparison to applying the coats by hand. Despite this, mechanical robots are used towards the end of the process to spray the lacquer onto the Mulsanne.
