Australia’s first family of paint

Born in Ballarat in 1935, our business is the result of Henry Haymes’ passion to provide quality, innovative paint and coating products to Australians. The business has been passed through the generations, with each Haymes family member contributing to our long-standing history of providing creating quality products.

Driven to bring new and innovative products to market, we ensure our customers always have the best.  We live and breathe our values of Truth, Passion, Motivation, Respect, and Listen and Learn. It’s why you can be sure we’ll never treat you like a number.

We remain committed to supporting other family-owned businesses, whether that’s the local Paint Specialists or a hardware store that stocks our paint or the professional trade painting contractors who use Haymes Paint every day. Today, our business is led by the third generation of the Haymes family. We are still Australian Made and Owned and based in Ballarat, where it all began.
