Colby tossed me the passenger seat invite, and we cruised through the Pennsylvania suburbs near his office, talking business, craftsmanship, and customer service. The guy runs one of the most respected painting companies in the area, but what struck me was his mindset more than the truck.

When I visited Colby Joseph Davis at his Davis Painting headquarters outside Philadelphia, I didn’t expect my favorite part of the day to involve a Cybertruck. But there it was, this futuristic hunk of stainless steel, sitting in the parking lot like a spaceship among pickup trucks.

“I didn’t buy this thing to flex,” he told me. “I bought it because it’s unique, just like how we approach every job. People notice when you do things differently.”

In a way, the Cybertruck’s design mirrors his philosophy — durable, bold, and built to last. It’s a conversation starter, just like Davis Painting’s reputation in Pennsylvania. Whether you love or hate Tesla, it’s hard not to appreciate someone who brings that same innovative energy to their craft.

Some homeowners might wonder if the guy painting their house is charging too much because he’s driving a stainless-steel DeLorean on steroids. Others might think it’s just plain cool. There are even people who swear off anything associated with Elon Musk. That’s fine. Colby’s not here to please everyone; he’s here to do excellent work.

Colby’s story reminds me that business success isn’t only about appearances; it’s about showing up every day, standing behind your work, and not being afraid to stand out. The Cybertruck may turn heads, but the quality of Davis Painting’s work speaks even louder.
