Saturday is free paint day at Ace

Ace Hardware is promoting its nationwide “Free Paint Saturday,” along with a sweepstakes for customers.

The promotional event, at participating Ace Hardware stores across the country, will give customers a free quart of paint when they present a coupon available at Ace’s Facebook page, or its Ace website. The one-day deal is good March 9.

Specifically, the promotion involves a quart of flat enamel interior Clark+Kensington paint+primer in one. Ace says the average availability is about 40 quarters per store.

The sweepstakes allows customers a chance to win one of 10 $1,000 Ace gift cards, plus personalized color consulting from an Ace design expert.
