1975 Bentley Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1975 Bentley Vibe

1975 was a year of heavy velvet, thicker cigars, and even heavier metal. Whether you were gliding through Mayfair in a coachbuilt Corniche or making a scene in the newly debuted Camargue, you weren't just driving-you were occupying space with authority. While the rest of the world was experimenting with "safety orange" and disco-fever browns, Bentley stayed the course with the only shade that truly matters for a British legend: Racing Green. It's the color of old money, heritage, and the kind of prestige that doesn't need to shout to be heard.

Paint Health Check

Your 1975 Bentley was born in the heart of the Single Stage Era. Back then, "quality" meant layers of rich pigment and resins mixed together, not the thin plastic "clear coat" sandwiches they slap on cars today. This paint has soul, but it's high-maintenance. Because there's no clear coat to shield it, your Racing Green is constantly battling the elements. If it's been neglected, you'll notice it's gone "chalky" or dull-that's oxidation. The paint is essentially drying out and dying on the surface, losing its depth and turning into a matte, lifeless ghost of its former self.

Restoration Tip

If you're looking to touch up a survivor, you can't just dab paint over the old haze. You've got to clear away the "dead skin" first. Use a fine polishing compound to buff out the oxidation until the original luster returns. Once the surface is clean and the touch-up is leveled, remember the golden rule for 1975 iron: It needs wax or it dies. Without a clear coat, a thick layer of high-quality wax is the only thing keeping the sun from eating your pigment. Feed the paint, seal it, and keep it out of the midday glare if you want that green to stay deep enough to swim in.
