Free Glidden Paint Swatches

My recent camping trip got me thinking about how awesome it'd be to live outside. You wouldn't have to worry about rent or utilities. Bathing in a creek is the perfect way to wake up in the morning. And you wouldn't have a mailbox to get freebies… wait… nooooooooooooo!!!

I take it back. I love my apartment. As a goodwill gesture, I will use these free Glidden paint color swatches to touch up my bedroom walls. Just don't take my freebies away.

You can select up to six colors, and PPG will mail you free 8×8 color cards to view in your own space and lighting before making your purchase. In fact, once you pick out your paint, I'll also send you directions to my place to paint my rooms for me. I'm thinking hot pink in the bedroom with lightning bolts down the hallway.

  1. I have received mine today by fed ex, that is why I received them because I hardly get anything when I sign up. Nice bottles and free paint chips to match what I chose. I will be buying. Thank-You!!

  3. k. Got it work – but had to pick different colors. Assume it doesn’t work if they’re out of one of the colors. Don’t know for sure!

  7. Got mine to work! Now, I’m waiting for it to come in the mail so I can start experimenting like a mad scientist. Just wish I could get more colors…all their colors are beautiful. 🙂

  8. In answer to #23, I believe a few weeks back, someone mentioned that if you do have a P.O. Box, all you need to do is put the actual street address of the Post Office where your mail is delivered in the address field and ensure you put your Box #. Good luck.

  9. Grrr… I HATE when companies do not accept PO boxes. If I had a dime for every time I had to explain that I DO NOT have the option of getting mail at home and I HAVE to use a PO box I would be rich!

  10. This is awesome. I’ve really been looking for some good paint for my room. They didn’t quite have the color I was looking for though. 🙁 I wish there was a better selection, or maybe I’m just too picky.

  11. FINALLY! after several and I do mean several times trying, I final figured it out. Geesh, Glidden I am not a rocket scientist…if I was I would just go hire someone to paint my room.

  12. This is too confusing, maybe the company did it that way so that people will give up and not request the samples. I am one of them. I really wanted these samples because I am planning to paint a room. I know that I will not be buying paint from Glidden.

  14. Thanks Joe for the help! I couldn’t get it by myself either. Just an extra note to all you people who can’t get it. Make sure that there is a little square box showing the two bottles. you can click on the two bottles that are a little more than half way up the page on the right side, so that the square will come out. That is where you drag your paint colors to. 🙂

  15. I wasn’t required to register to get my samples. Just searched through the colors and dragged the two I liked over to the pop-up box with the picture of the two tester bottles.

  16. thanks Joe finally understood it took me a few minutes of scratching my head going what?? but directed me well..
    I am just starting on a project so this will be great

  17. I couldn’t figure it out.it wouldn’t let me transfer the color to the little tester bottle.maybe i’ll try again later when i have more patience….

  18. That was harder than anticipated, thanks Joe for spelling it out for me. 🙂 Once I realized to drag my paint color and put it onto the sample bottle, it was a piece of cake! What a fun freebie!

  19. this is a tough site to use. after you pick a color from the panels, drag to your choice of wall below and next to the color samples. then your color choice will be saved in the list below the walls. drag those choices over to the bottles on the right side of the screen (one at a time) then hit submit. you will have to register an account with them. it’s cool though to see how two colors will match up in the same room i like to do different color walls in the same room it kind of reminds me of the early ’70’s when i saw different colors without having to paint ’em 🙂
