Can you get sample cans of paint?

Paint color samples are liquid servings of watered-down paint in sizes ranging from 7.2 ounces to around 30 ounces. These samples are available from both paint stores (e.g., Sherwin Williams) and big box and hardware stores (e.g., Home Depot and Ace). They are meant to be brushed onto the area that you intend to paint.
