Harley are making just 500 Street Glide Specials in the Arctic Blast paint, each one handpainted by Gunslinger Custom Paint in Colorado, USA.

“The Arctic Blast paint is executed in strokes of high-contrast color intended to communicate the appearance of motion,” said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Styling and Design.

“The design looks bold from a distance but offers interesting details that can only be seen up close, including a blue pearl effect over the white base, and a ghosted hexagon pattern on the fairing.”

As you might expect a paintjob like this doesn’t come cheap, with the paint costing £6800 taking the price to £31,295.
