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. Great coverage and dries beautifully. I will certainly stick with this brand from now on as I just love it.
Purchased in March 2021 at ColourStop for A$128.00.

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.

Definitely not the same paint that I have always known
I first used Haymes paint in 1978 when I painted my parents house and never looked elsewhere. I also painted my first home and several others over the years with Haymes and could not have been happier with such a quality product. The uniform and homogenous smoothness felt like as if it had been sprayed with a car painting compressor using just a cheap generic roller. My parents home still has the same coat of paint, looking as good as the first week of painting; ceilings, walls, window frames, eaves etc without any peeling or flaking.

ecently built a new home and used some 20 liters of the premium acrylic sealer undercoat followed by 2 coats of some 30 liters of expressions matt to cover 120 square meters of ceilings. No diluting was done either. I could not believe it was the same paint!!! Patchy and very uneven like as if it was painted by a primary school child. I am not new to painting and did nothing different from the superb outcomes from previous jobs. I am of the belief that the new formula is nowhere near as good as it used to be!!!!. Very disappointed after 41 years of loyalty!!! Sorry, but had to declare it. Just my opinion.!!!!Purchased in February 2021.

Convert to Haymes paint for life
I recently moved into a new home and wanted to improve the average finish so I bought 10 litres of the woolly dog brand. I could not, no matter how hard I tried, get a decent finish.
I decided it must be the paint so I bought a tin of Haymes Ultra Premium low sheen. What had taken me 3 days of work, still with a poor finish, I completed with an excellent result within 3 hours with Haymes.
The application was easy, the coverage brilliant and the finish supreme. I could not recommend this brand highly enough and I will be doing my new house completely with this product.
Purchased in February 2021 at Paint Spot.

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 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...Read more
’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.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Like making love to the walls
After reading many, many, reviews online and sampling different colours in a few walls across my house, I’m finally making the change from Dulux (Antique White USA) to Haymes (Minimalist 1) and honestly, I wish I’ve done it before.
From the moment you open the can and you start stirring the paint you know it’s a good product, thick, quality stuff.
I have painted previously with Dulux, Taubmans, etc and trust me...I’m not going back to them.
There’s nothing exciting in painting a wall but when you apply this product is for a lack of a better word...sexy. The photo is the first coat only!

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

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 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 lo...Read more

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 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

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

the best
I have just finished painting my ceilings with haymes ceiling white. Thick creamy and covers superbly as well as being easy to apply. I have just been to artarmon to buy a 15 litre drum of semi matt for the walls. Highly recommended and I wouldn't consider using any of the test pots from 2 of the big manufacturers following their thin and unimpressive performance a few weeks ago. UPDATE...just finished the walls yesterday with a 15 litre drum. Looks fantastic. Haymes is simply a superb product and I would never use any other paint...I'm even looking forward to starting the bedrooms which I wasn't going to do.

Best paint ever
The paint gives great coverage it's easy to use with great range of colours to choose from did my whole house using this paint and would highly recommend it is good value for the purchace price as you only need one coat to get very good coverage but if you want an even better look go for two coats highly recommend

Good paint - low odour & very smooth finish
My partner & I are first time DIY painter for our new house (4Bed house over 150m2), with over 350m2 of wall & 65 m2 ceiling to paint. Based on many research, we decided to go with Haymes paint (Trade price from our builder was good, only $2/Litre more expensive than Solver & $2/Litre cheaper than Dulux). Coverage was great that 1 coat primer + 2 coat color was perfect. 1 coat is okay too (if no dramatic change of color) Textile was smooth and quite stretchable that we now excess paint to store away. Paint shops says Haymes is the premium product, even within the premium paint line across all brand. I am happy with Haymes and will recommend to anyone. Don't go past this Australian product.

Nice!
completed an interior repaint, using the Haymes expressions low sheen was a dream to work with.
Brushing and rolling the paint was effortless, so nice and creamy.
the owner of the property was amazed that there was NO paint smell lingering in the house!
the finish on the wall is a nice silky sheen.

Can you use Haymes expressions low sheen to freshen up a set of drawers?
1 answer
If the drawers are a larger size then Low sheen will be ok but not as hard wearing or good looking as enamel....
Haymes has great flowing water based enamel that is proving durable on my sun exposed window sills...easy to clean & looks great!
Would make your drawers sparkle...
Wollyasked
In hall way, foyer,stairs down one side, walls 5 Mtrs high and large window over front door. Having trouble with low sheen showing roller marks and cutting in marks. How do I avoid this. The stair wall be able to wash dirty marks off. The paint I used was not Haynes.
1 answer
Tricky job as the light will show any surface imperfections. Usually roller overlaps are due to different paint coat thickness.
Use a good quality roller & make sure the paint is laid evenly. Do at least two coats. Don’t rush.
Get the paint drying between coats and allow 3 full days to cure.
Once done it’s easy to keep clean...we have new kid marks every week...most come off with warm damp cloth.
Good luck - hope this helps!
