Don't know anything about these, great colour scheme.
Is it me or does the paintwork look a bit too shiny for it's age. Has it been repainted/lacquerred ? My 98 Outpost has faded a bit despite being lovingly looked after.
Obvious that you don't know anything about Psyclones. You want to compare a production 98 Outpost to a handmade fillet brazed frame that's fillet brazed one at a time to order and painted to order with DuPont Imron painted to order. Imron, yeah well that probably would look a tad shinier than a 98 Outpost . The Imron paint alone would probably cost more than what GT paid to get the Outpost built and put on a container from Taiwan. This frames been stored inside for the past 14 years so the sun hasn't had a chance to breakdown the sheen of the clearcoat yet.
The color scheme is called "Team Scream" GT used a painted version on the Psyclone and on the Bravado LE in 1993. Very slow process to mask the exchange between the yellow and the blue. They did a cheaper decal version of it on the Tequesta and Timberline in later years.
