Glidden Ready-To-Go Paint Testers

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine.
Glidden is a well known brand of paints that offers inexpensive paint testers at all Home Depot locations.
These paint testers are unique because they not only allow you to try out the actual paint color before you commit to buying the full amount of paint needed for your painting project, but they even come with a handy brush inside the lid. You can even use them for small projects, such as touch ups (useful if you have small children and want to take care of any stains or scrapes in paint they cause while playing). Each Paint Tester comes with enough paint to cover a three foot square area.

My dad actually encourages his grandkids to write on the walls (he calls it "priceless artwork") but my mom does not agree, so small touch-up paint would be very much appreciated by her! It is also easier to store these paint testers than it is a full-size paint can that is only half-used and may be messy from paint drippings.

If you aren't sure of what color you'd like to paint a room, or if you'd like to test out colors for the trim, maybe the shutters, the ceiling, anything, these paint testers are a great way to give it a try. It's difficult to really see what a color can do for a room until it's actually on the wall, and it's also difficult to decide on what company you'd like to use if you can't try out the paint first. Glidden Paint Testers allows you to try out both the color and the quality of the paints. Glidden feels that this will inspire consumers to buy more because they will be impressed with the quality of the actual paints, for all their future painting projects.

I tried to get a sample when they have a free offer promotion, but unfortunately did not have much luck myself. My sample never came. When I contacted the company, they apologized, said for some reason it never shipped, and they were now out of the color I requested. They offered an alternate, which never arrived either. I guess I personally don't have much luck with Glidden, but the testers are available for sale.

Glidden offers Top 10 Color Palettes and XL Paint Chips to help you find ideas quickly. The Top 10 Color Palettes are assembled by color experts, and both offer coordinating colors to make your search easier. The Just Baked Kitchen colors are beautiful!
