2022 Bentley Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Bentley Vibe

By 2022, Bentley wasn't just building cars; they were building high-definition mirrors for the elite. Whether it was the Continental GT cutting through the air or the Bentayga dominating the passing lane, the vibe was all about surgical precision. We've focused our database on the colors that truly defined this high-gloss era-the "survivors" that stood out in a sea of monochrome. We're talking about the deep, oceanic soul of Blue Crystal, the clinical perfection of Ice, and the pure aggression of Bright Red. These weren't just paint jobs; they were multi-layer statements of intent for a world obsessed with 4K resolution.

Paint Health Check

But here's the cold truth from a guy who's spent forty years behind a spray gun: we are firmly in the Thin Paint Era. Those robots in Crewe are impressively efficient, but they spray "lean." The factory enamel on a 2022 Bentley is harder than a diamond, which is great for a showroom shine, but it makes the finish brittle. You aren't battling the chalky oxidation of the '70s or the peeling clear coats of the '90s here. Your enemy is the stone chip. Because the coat is so thin and hard, a highway pebble doesn't just leave a mark-it can cause the finish to "star" or flake right off. If you look closely at a high-mileage hood in Anthracite, you'll see the carnage; it's a battlefield of microscopic craters where the clear gave up its life for the metal.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2022, forget everything you know about "filling" a hole in one shot. Because these modern finishes are so thin, a big old "blob" of paint will stick out like a sore thumb against that robot-leveled surface. Build your layers slowly. Apply a tiny, translucent amount, let it flash off, and repeat. You want to sneak up on the level of the surrounding paint, one thin coat at a time. If you try to rush a deep chip in Bright Red, you'll end up with a raised welt that's a nightmare to level out on such a hard clear coat. Patience is the only tool that works on a modern Bentley.
