2000 Bentley Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Bentley Vibe

The year 2000 was a strange crossroads for Bentley. You had the Arnage "Green Label" running around with BMW hearts, while the "Red Label" brought back the thumping 6.75-liter V8 for the purists who wanted their luxury with a side of absolute torque. Whether it was the Arnage, the Azure, or the heavy-hitting Continental T, these cars were the last of the truly hand-built bruisers before the modern era fully took over. In our database, we've focused on the only color that really mattered for a British titan in the Y2K era: Racing Green. It wasn't just a color; it was a statement that while the world was worrying about computer glitches, Bentley was busy being timeless.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the "Peeling Era" with these 2000 models. By the turn of the millennium, Bentley was using high-solids clear coats that offered incredible depth-you could practically swim in a well-maintained hood. However, this was also the peak of "Delamination" risks. If your Bentley has spent its life under the California sun or been neglected in a coastal garage, you're looking for the dreaded "white clouding" or edges where the clear coat is starting to flake away like a bad sunburn. Once the clear lifts from the basecoat, the game changes from a simple polish to a full-blown respray.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for 2000-era Bentley paint: Seal your chips immediately. Because these cars used a thick, durable clear coat, a rock chip creates a hard "edge" where moisture and air can get trapped between the layers. If you leave a chip open on a 2000 Arnage, that moisture will eventually cause the clear to lose its grip and start lifting in a circle around the damage. Use a high-quality solvent-based touch-up to fill the crater and seal that edge. It's not just about the looks; it's about keeping the rest of that factory clear coat anchored to the car.
