2016 Bentley Mulsanne gets worked over! Pic Heavy!!!!

[Justin at Final Inspection]

So to kick off working in the new shop what better way to start than with a high class luxury sedan. This 2016 Bentley Mulsanne actually belongs to a family member of Autogeek forum member Trashmanssd. It was recently purchased and a full service was requested. It was not only a pleasure to finally meet Ryan but to also be able to do such a wonderful vehicle for his family.

Wash/Decon- Hyper wash, Megs Iron decon, Nanoskin fine grade towel







After washing and decon the vehicle was placed on jack stands and the wheels removed in preparation for prepping and coating. Chief 125psi steamer and goof off was used to finish prepping the wheels along with the calipers. Then they were coated in IGL Eclipse industrial coating.





Then the fun began! This car had a less than stellar tan/gold painted on pin stripe and monogram initials on the doors which they wanted removed. The initial plan was to remove it and leave it bare but upon discovery of a tape line on the body line while removing it was agreed to re-stripe it in black. So that's what I did. The old stripe was removed using a combo of oven cleaner and graffiti remover.






Once that was completed the paint correction could begin. Paint thickness readings were taken and averaged around 10.5/11mils. Compounding was handled with M100, Mckees Microfiber cutting pads and Rupes 21 Mark ll and Flex Pxe 3 inch. Finishing was with IGL yellow foam, IGL F1, Rupes 21 Mark ll, Flex PXE.













Then the tedious task of polishing out the massive grill.





Engine bay cleaned and coated with IGL Eclipse



The paint was coated in IGL Kenzo. Interior was cleaned up and the interior carbon was polished and sealed.

Monogrammed initials on the door...WTH, this isn't the 80's and THAT isn't a Caddy (sorry Ric, you know what I'm sayin')

Crazy detail but as usual it came out great...monogrammed initials

How are you liking the new shop compared
to the other?

Thank you Justin. It was a pleasure meeting you and getting a first hand look at your work. My brother was blown away by Justin's work as we all have been many times on here. This car had 4-5 surprises for justin from a poor repair repaint job. But his talent and hard work made them impossible to see with the naked eye, only the paint thickness gauge knows now. Justin was great at letting me know when they popped up and what solution would be best for each one, he is a true professional.

No comparison. Went from a 2 bay garage to a 1200sqft shop with drain and 14ft ceilings. But I made a name for myself in the little garage so I will never forget that.

Ryan thanks so much. Very happy to hear that your brother was thrilled. Happy clients makes it all worth while. It's always nice chatting with others who share the same interests.
