2008 Bentley Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 2008 Bentley Vibe

2008 was a strange year. The iPhones were getting smarter, the banks were getting dumber, and the paint on the Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur was getting... well, optimized. While the original owners were busy watching their hedge funds evaporate, these cars were out on the road soaking up the sun and gravel. We've focused our collection on the survivors of this era, specifically the only color that truly mattered: Racing Green. It's the shade that says you have a country estate, even if the bank owns the guest house.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the "Thin Paint Era." By 2008, even the artisans at Crewe were answering to the gods of Robot Efficiency. While the finish looked like a mirror on the showroom floor, the factory was actually spraying thinner coats than the old hand-rubbed days. The result? That massive front end on your Continental is basically a magnet for every piece of road debris in the tristate area. You aren't just looking at minor scratches; you're looking at deep stone chips that cut straight through the "efficient" clear coat, and "UV crazing" that starts to cloud the depth of that iconic green if it's spent too much time in the valet line.

Restoration Tip

Because we're dealing with the era of thin factory clears, you have to be smarter than the robot that sprayed it. When you're touching up that Racing Green, build your layers slowly. This isn't a 1970s lacquer job where you can just blob it on and sand it flat. Our solvent-based formula is designed to bite into that factory finish and stay there, but you need to apply 2-3 thin coats rather than one thick one. Let it flash off properly between passes. If you try to do it all at once, you'll end up with a "witness line" that sticks out worse than a cheap suit at the Ascot.
