The Prince and the Coachline Painter

Rolls-Royce have commissioned a series of short films telling extraordinary stories about extraordinary motor cars. We call them 21st Century Legends. In this film, we focus on coachline painter Mark Court. Mark’s meticulously steady hand is responsible for painting every coachline– and his skill comes in ensuring a seamless join as he moves down the 6-metre length of a car. While he usually works out of Goodwood, adding the finishing touches to cars before they are delivered to their owners, the quest for perfection took Mark and his squirrel hair brushes to the desert of Dubai to add his unique signature to a prince’s Rolls-Royce after it had left the factory.
