As a rough guide, premium Haymes paint in Melbourne runs about $75 to $130 for a 4 litre tin in 2026, depending on the range and your stockist. Interior wall paints sit at the lower end, with premium exterior and specialty finishes at the higher end. Prices move with promotions and the stockist, so treat these as a ballpark, not gospel, and check your local Haymes stockist for an exact figure.
Indicative Haymes prices (2026)
| Product type | Rough price (4L) |
|---|---|
| Premium interior wall paint | $75 to $100 |
| Premium exterior paint | $95 to $130 |
| Primer / undercoat | $60 to $90 |
| Specialty and feature finishes | Often higher, varies |
These are indicative only. Haymes sells through independent stockists rather than the big-box chains, so there is no single national shelf price the way there is at a hardware chain. Bunnings does not stock Haymes, so you cannot price-check it there.
Haymes vs Dulux on price
Haymes premium ranges are typically priced at, or slightly above, the equivalent Dulux premium range. The honest take: at the premium tier the two are close enough that price alone should not decide it. We compare them properly in Dulux vs Haymes: what Melbourne painters use.
Why price per litre is the wrong number
The number on the tin is not what your repaint actually costs. Two things matter more:
- Coverage (m² per litre). A paint that covers 16 m²/L goes much further than one at 10 m²/L, so a dearer tin can work out cheaper per wall.
- Labour. On a professional repaint, paint is a small slice of the total. Preparation and application are the bulk of the cost, and good prep is what makes the finish last.
If you are pricing a whole repaint rather than a single tin, the real drivers of house painting cost in Melbourne matter far more than the brand on the shelf.
