Haymes Ultra Premium Expressions Interior

Best paint available. The end! – Hands down the best paint on the market. Better than anything you’ll buy in the big green hardware store. Using Haymes actually makes the task of painting somewhat bearable Show details ·  1

Best paint! – Haymes, is hands down the best paint I have used in my lifetime. I have also used their decking oil and my deck still looks like new after 1 year in an area very exposed to the sun. One thing to watch out for, is the colour chart for their paints. It is way off!! It does not match the actual paint at all, and i've tried numerous of different colours. I advise to get samples. Show details

The best 'wash & wear' paint on the market – Haymes Paint Expressions Ultra Premium Interior is a true 'wash & wear' paint and it has a lovely finish. We love it. We bought Haymes Paint after we had a very bad experience (our second bad experience) with Dulux wash & wear low sheen. Not only did it damage our walls of 7 rooms because it is NOT a 'wash & wear' as the label states (false… Read more

advertising and misleading consumers) but it left streaky inconsistent sheen marks on every walls despite painting some walls with 7 coats to try and get a consistency which we were not able to achieve. We are part time renovators and have been for years and have never encounted this issue with any other paint other than the inferior Dulux wash & wear low sheen paint. To add to insult, Dulux once again put the blame on its consumer - as always. Dulux, did you ever think that your consumer is giving you the opportunity to fix your product instead of you coming back to the consumer aggressively and in an insulting manner. Will NEVER by Dulux again after the way they treated us 10 years ago and again in November 2020.i

After some hunting around, we bought Haymes Paint Expressions Ultra Premium Interior and it is the BEST PAINT. The results - it is a true 'wash & wear' - as you can wipe walls and it leaves no marks and it has a lovely even sheen. Plus it is an Australian Company.

Well done Haymes. It took us some years to find a quality paint and we have finally found it.

Thanks Haymes and all the best to you!

Wonderful wonderful wonderful paint – I wasted the entire prior day trying to get a decent ceiling coat using Dulux’s cheaper brand Walpamur to no avail. Choice had said it was good. I tried watching YouTube videos, applied more paint, painted faster, painted at night. The ceiling was just as patchy and lined after my 2nd coat... it looked like it was painted by a child. I despaired… Read more

thinking I was going to have to hire a tradesmen. I’ve painted before and never had an issue.

Bunnings grudgingly accepted 4 cans back telling me it was the temperature, my pressure, or my technique. I’ve now read several hundred negative reviews stating how awful Dulux has become recently. Saw Haymes listed as high quality and good value on Canstar. My local paint shop actually spent 20 minutes teaching me about colours and technique.

The ceiling trade white was cheaper than the Walpmur at $8.5 per litre and the coloured wall paint was $12 per litre. Walpamur at Bunnings is $10. Magically, my ceiling now looks incredible. I changed literally nothing but the paint. And it is taking about half as much paint to cover the same area. I can actually take my time and enjoy the process. The Walpmur was literally dry in half a minute... making it impossible to get an even finish. The Haymes looks glossy and thick going on by comparison, and looks beautiful.

You have a customer for life. Thank you. Haymes is made locally as well.

A delightful and superior paint – I'm thrilled to have discovered such an excellent paint. Having tried Taubmans, Dulux, Wattyl, Zinsser, eColour, and others, this one stands out as the superior choice. Unlike the rest that demanded three coats for a consistent finish, Haymes *almost* allows me to get away with just one (although I'll apply two for good measure). The time saved by… Read more

using one less coat for an entire apartment is well worth the investment.

Additionally, the online color consultation was a great help, and the recommended colors were delightful. I ultimately chose the consultant's initial recommendation, Minimalist 1. The colour is not only lovely and met my expectations compared to the sample card, but also boasts an opaque and thick consistency with little to no smell. In contrast to colour matching experiences with other brands which led to repainting, I will exclusively rely on the company's own colours moving forward.

Haymes Paints - Excellent quality – Excellent paint! Thank you Haymes for supplying an excellent product to the marketplace. Our 11 rooms in our home look terrific - thanks to Haymes Paints. We started with the Dulux Wash & Wear and it was so inferior that all we could see were continuous streaks. After a battle with Dulux, a painter suggested Haymes Paint. It was excellent and we will now only use Haymes Paints.

Lasting Colour – Painted our external weather boards and the colour has lasted well. Drys well. Panted 2 coats. A little more expensive than other brands but worth paying a bit extra for the quality. Show details

Good paint but they messed up the colour – Easy to apply and good coverage, completely no smell. But!!! If you are very particular about white colour like me, be careful. I asked Haymens to match a big brand's bright white, I end up with getting grey green colour, the colour I tried to avoid by buying many sample whites from big brands to test. Now have to ask Bunnings to fix the colour… Read more

for me. Just be careful that Haymens doesn't seem to be professional this way. And, nothing to do with my wall, you can tell huge difference simply place the two products side by side to compare.

Ultimate concrete Epoxy paint – Purchased the ultimate Epoxy to paint my new garage floor. I prepped as advised with grinding the new concrete after 30 days & acid washing. I was disappointed with the finish after 2 coats. I thought it would fill in the grinding marks but also they are still visible. I thought the finish would be more like the epoxy coated floors but it's not.… Read more

It's more like a painted floor which shows all the imperfections it is covering. If I was given this advise when purchasing I would have used another product

Excellent and quality paint - highly recommend Haymes products – Highly recommend all of Haymes paint products. They really are the best on the market. Had Dulux 'Wash and Wear' and it was not a wash and wear product instead it streaked throughout our walls. Particularly painted over again almost 8 times but still streaky. Contacted Dulux and as always, they put blame back on us saying it was how we applied… Read more

it. This is the 3rd time we have complained about Dulux paints - different types too - and received the same response from Dulux. Shame on you Dulux. Never will use Dulux again as it is inferior quality. We then switched over to Haymes paint products and what a huge difference. Applied it in the same way and it looks amazing. It is also easy to clean marks off wall. We love Haymes paints. They are just quality. We now only recommend Haymes paints. Wish Bunnings would stocked Haymes and remove Dulux.

Quality paint, excellent service from paintcentral.net.au – Great coverage, easy to apply and very pleased with the initial result. Can't comment on longevity or ease of cleaning at this stage. 15L was enough for two coats for three rooms (one large, one medium and a hallway). Recoat as per instructions, although as with other paints three coats produced best result along cornice edges where a paint… Read more

brush was used instead of a roller.

Sheena from Paint Central on Daws road provided good advice and colour matched Taubmans "Inner Circle" almost perfectly, we're delighted with the outcome. Will paint the rest of the house using Haymes.

Even amateur painters can achieve professional results with Haymes – After going in the brink of madness using the useless Taubmans Endure and questioning my ability to paint, I ditched the Taubmans and bought a can of Haymes Expressions. I realised that I could actually paint and was able to achieve a professional result when the right paint is used. The Haymes has a great consistency, is very forgiving when it… Read more

comes to roller marks and gives you a result you can be very happy with. Furthermore, the Haymes dealer in Craigieburn was very helpful and friendly. I will never go anywhere else for paint.

Beast paint ever – As handy man I repaint my house with haymes products the results it amazing a lot of people recommended du ..... I believe it’s just brand !!! , I perched graylogy 3 for the walls and 1 for the doors&trim Show details

Glad I switched – After my terrible encounter with Bunnings (see previous review), I have switched to Haymes paints and it has been a very pleasant experience. Staff at local store is knowledgeable and click and collect worked seamlessly. Paint Coverage is great over existing wall and easy to apply paint. Will use again. Show details

Too thick, like clotted cream – Far too thick which makes even finish and rolling very difficult and time consuming. The paint tends to ‘picture frame’ which is very difficult to rectify. 4 litres barely and I mean barely covers a standard bedroom with a non painted built in robe. Show details

Great quality, makes the job super easy! – This paint goes on super easily and has great coverage. We did two coats and ended up with a perfect result as two first time painters. The low sheen is a beautiful finish as well. It’s worth going to a paint speciality shop for this paint, we tried another very well known brand prior to this and it gave us streaky and uneven result after 4 coats, Haymes fixed that paint job easily and put the fun back in our isolation DIY project. Show details

Fantastic and well price Australia owned paint – Just fabulous and very well priced. Everyone wanted to use Dulux but been very happy when I supplied them with Haymes instead. I'm converted to Haymes paint for life. Well done Show details

Love this paint – This paint is wonderful. Was going to buy Dulux again but after being disappointed with their semi gloss and then reading the reviews of their matt paint, I started reading reviews of other brands. When I saw the many very good reviews for Haymes paints, I decided to give it a go. I am so happy I did. Very easy to paint with. Very little smell. … Read more

Great coverage and dries beautifully. I will certainly stick with this brand from now on as I just love it.

no coverage – No coverage. very thin and watery. Stick to the main brands. Had to give the wall four coats. I did phone the manager but he wasnt interested. Could tell the paint was thin just by stirring it. It looked transparent.

Picture fames – As a professional painter I've used a lot of Haymes low sheen acrylic over the years. The most recent change of formula has seen me go right off this product. It picture frames badly even if the cutting in is left to dry overnight. Doesn't touch up well either. Will be using Resene Spacecote in future as the finish is far superior.

No point mucking around – 2 smallish bedrooms, 2 coats each. Brilliant stuff. Goes on lovely. Doesn't smell that much. Been using Haymes for more art based projects, usually strong primary colours, always very happy with coverage and durability. Still worth going Haymes for interior white. Can't believe I used to waste my time with cheap n crappy brands.

Superior paint – After using Taubmans I was extremely disappointed with the finish. Purchased Haymes after reading these reviews. This product really is the best. The finish is beautiful. I am painting all walls and ceilings throughout the house. Taubmans took 3 coats and looked blotchy but Haymes is only 1 coat for ceiling and 2 for walls. It’s the same price as Taubmans and Dulux but far superior.

Fantastic Quality Paint and Great Service from Haymes – I have now painted two bedrooms and a large, open plan living area with Haymes Interior Expressions low sheen. The finish and coverage are amazing, great opacity compared to big brands I've bought previously. In addition the service I've received from the Haymes Experts was fantastic, helping me get a colour perfect - really helpful! Thanks Haymes - great team and products

Too shiny – I painted my bathroom with Haynes low sheen enamel paint and it is nearly as shiny as the gloss enamel quite annoyed it is so shiny.t I thought being low sheen it would be not so shiny but it is I thought it would be better to stop Mold now I regret using this paint

Recommending this paint – Had a large area of VJ timber walls to paint in 80yrs old house in Queensland. Only wanted to paint it well and once... Walls were taken back to bare timber and primed ready for top coat using British Paint 4in1. Had used other big paint brands for top coats with varying results so was looking for local advice - many people recommended… Read more

Haymes...

The Haymes Expressions sold me on its coverage and covering qualities and the resulting finish is great.

Just 2 coats applied with a 13mm nap roller have given a deep colour finish with a superb low sheen.

First coat coverage was hardest and using the most paint as all VJ's had to be done but the flow and smooth finish of the paint helped cut the work. Second coat was much faster and flowed easily of the first coat.

You do need to make sure the paint is fully cured (not just dry) properly to see the real value in this wash and wear product.

Haymes Interior Expressions....Glides on like butter - love it!! – Haymes Expressions Interior - Low sheen. I'm renovating & painting my 3 bedroom home. For a comparison.... In prep for built-in wardrobe in main bedroom I used Dulux wash'n'wear. In prep for built-in wardrobe in spare room I used Haymes Expessions Low Sheen. Haymes won hands down. It felt creamy & luxurious to roll on wall whereas Dulux felt… Read more

thin & stingy. Could have got away with just one coat coverage with Haymes wheras Dulux needed 3 coats.

As the day was a bit cold, I thought I'd try a little trick I saw/heard somewhere ...... I filled the kitchen sink with hot water & sat my paint tin in it for a while to gently warm the paint a bit. Made the final stir & application sooooo much easier.

Best paint and covers great – Happy with Haynes I would not use any other paint it covers great and drys off perfect. Also when ever I have a problem with my account or any dramas the accounts team are the best so helpful it is a massive help being able to ring them in Australia and they genuinely help it's a throwback to how business was run back in the day. Very honest I'm more then happy  Show details

Save your money – This paint like the complete range has poor coverage lacks soothness of top brands. For the price haymes does not come close to major brands. Upon drying it’s clear that Haymes finish is lacking in all areas. Consideri carefully before using this paint as one will certainly need to paint sooner than expected  Show details

Very Poor coverage – Very poor coverage compared to other brands top quality range Show details

This is perfection – Amazing next level product!!! No better out there in quality Show details
