The 1983 Harley-Davidson FXRT Sport Glide.
The special paint scheme was applied by Gunslinger Custom Paint of Golden, Colo., a long-time supplier of custom painted components for Harley-Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations models. It begins with an El Diablo Bright Red with a pass of Bright Red Sunglo. The pinstriped areas are then masked off as dark red fade is applied. A metallic dark red is then added to create a sense of depth. Pale Gold pinstriping is then hand-applied to the masked areas before a Bright Red Sunglo layer with a tinted clear element finishes things off, creating what Harley-Davidson calls a “candy” effect. The styling is completed by black finishes on the powertrain, front end, and exhaust, while the cast aluminum wheels receive a Matte Dark Bronze finish.
