The Bentley Bentayga is an extremely important car for the British marque.
Bentley’s SUV represents the brand’s foray into the growing luxury SUV market.
Recently, some very interesting Bentayga units popped up on the internet.
And they each took 70 hours to paint – for good reason.

Bentayga marks Bentley entry into luxury SUV space
When the Bentayga was first announced, it raised more than a few eyebrows.
The initial concept car, codenamed the EXP 9 F, received criticism for its design.
Following said criticism, Bentley announced it would rework the design of its car.
The first 2016 models of the Bentayga came with Bentley’s iconic W12 engine platform.
In 2017 and 2018, the marque introduced a diesel and petrol V8 respectively.
In particular, the 4.0, twin-turbo V8 endures as a staple of the Bentayga range.
Since 2019, the company has also offered its hybrid platform for the luxury SUV.
To the company’s credit, the Bentayga has become one of the most popular vehicles in the Bentley range.
Three Bentayga units get a special paint job
A few days ago, Bentley HQ in Crewe, England made a special announcement.
The luxury firm announced that three Bentayga units would be sent to Bentley Dallas.
However, these are no ordinary SUVs – they are the product of a special, three-way collaboration.
Bentley Dallas, artist Stephen Selzer and Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division, created these SUVs, and they’ve each been given a unique, bespoke paint job.
The cars are expected to sell for $75,000 – with the proceeds going to Victoris.
Victoris is Bentley Dallas’ philanthropic initiative, and it is giving the proceeds of the sales to children’s charities in Dallas.
The first of the three SUVs has a stunning duo-tone, red fade paint job of Candy over Cricket ball.
The next Bentayga has a striking Silver finish with Anthracite Grey.
The last of the three is a combination of Anthracite and Extreme Silver.
Each of these Bentaygas took more than 70 hours to paint – because it is not a normal painting process.
The painters each applied pre-tinted shades of paint in certain spots, ensuring a gradient, transitioned finish.
After masking and stencils were applied, each body was polished to ensure a perfect, stunning finish.
We applaud this charity initiative from Bentley Dallas, and we can’t wait to see the charities benefit from their work.
