About This Quiz

Aside from a house, the biggest purchase you're likely to make is a vehicle. The truck you buy is a huge investment and ideally, you want this thing to last you a very long time. And since you're buying a truck, it's pretty clear you need it to do more work than you'd expect out of a VW Bug or some other little car.

Your truck is going to be an important part of your life, so how it looks is going to reflect on you in some way. No doubt you want it to look as good as it can the first time you take it out for a drive and that means paint. The color of your truck is the first thing you and everyone else is going to notice.
