1992 Bentley Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1992 Bentley Vibe

In 1992, Bentley was finally stepping out of the shadow of its sibling from Crewe. This was the year of the Continental R-the first Bentley in nearly three decades to have its own unique, heavy-hitting body. Whether you were piloting a Turbo R or the stately Brooklands, the aesthetic was "old-money muscle." While the factory offered plenty of variety, we've focused on the survivors that wore the suit best. In the early 90s, the only color that truly mattered was Racing Green. It wasn't just a choice; it was a statement of intent for the person who wanted to hit 150 mph while sitting in a leather-wrapped library.

Paint Health Check

Bentley famously bragged about the number of paint coats they applied-standard practice was dozens of layers, hand-sanded to a mirror finish. But here's the rub: 1992 puts these cars squarely in The Peeling Era. Even with a high-end build, the clear coat technology of the early 90s hadn't quite mastered the art of staying attached forever under the sun's UV hammer. By now, the legend of that deep, "foot-deep" finish is likely being threatened by delamination. If you see white, cloudy patches or clear flakes that look like a bad sunburn on the roof or trunk, that's the clear coat losing its grip on the basecoat. Once it starts lifting, it doesn't stop.

Restoration Tip

Because these cars used a basecoat/clearcoat system, you can't just buff your way out of a peeling clear coat like you could with the old single-stage paints. My advice? Seal your chips immediately. On a 1992 Bentley, a stone chip isn't just an eyesore; it's an entry point for moisture and air to get under the clear coat and start the delamination process. If you catch a nick on the hood of your Continental R, clean it and touch it up with our Racing Green pigment and a fresh dab of clear as soon as possible. You want to "bridge" that gap before the clear decides to part ways with the metal for good.
