Maximum Coverage Meets Minimum Stress: Why This Paint Changes Everything

You know the moment you lay down the first coat and think... "Is this going to take four more?" That’s the last thing you want when you’re working against deadlines or daylight. Here’s where Haymes Ultracover comes in — a premium paint formula engineered to make your life easier, walls smoother, and results bolder. Whether you’re flipping, freshening or fighting time, it just works.

Fact: Independent testing shows Haymes Ultracover delivers up to 50% more area coverage per litre than standard economy paints — saving time, gear, and energy.

What Makes Haymes Ultracover Different?

Anyone can slap "premium" on a label — but not all paint earns it. Haymes Ultracover backs it up where it counts. Here’s what’s under the lid:

High-opacity formula covers bold colours and stains faster — often with just one coat.
Stain-blocking tech cuts down on prep time for patched or marked surfaces.
Smooth-as-butter finish that levels perfectly even when speed-coating with rollers.
Durable film resists scuffing, bubbling, and early wear — ideal for high-traffic areas.

And because it’s a low-odour paint, you won’t be stuck with that headache-inducing smell post-job — a win for both tradies and tenants.

Real Results, No Recoats

Quick story: One of our regulars was refreshing a federation-era hallway coated in stubborn gloss — they expected three passes. Using Ultracover Low Sheen with just a light sand, the job was done in two. No patchiness. No bleed-through. No stress. Their words: "Thought it was too good to be true — turns out it’s just good."

When Every Hour Counts

There’s no denying it — time is the real cost. Chasing touch-ups, waiting for extra coats to dry, or having to start over because your paint didn’t hold up? That’s money gone. Strong coverage in fewer coats means your schedule gets tighter, not your result.

Painting zones like bathrooms or laundries? Haymes Expressions® Interior (also available at our store) is another standout — this one has 7-year mould and mildew protection and the kind of finish that resists life’s daily messes. It’s also Global GreenTag Certified — good for your project and your long game.

Smarter Tools, Smoother Finish

A great finish isn’t just about paint — the tools matter. Our go-to for jobs with Ultracover:

Uni-Pro Microfibre Roller covers: Designed to trap and evenly distribute thicker paints.
Durable drop sheets: Because there’s no shortcut through clean-up without them.
Masking tapes that actually seal edges

Keep your gear basic, but bulletproof. That’s what we stock — stuff that doesn't leave fibres on wet walls or slip off halfway through the second cut-in.

No-Gimmick Colour Matching

If you're covering past mistakes (or “creative choices”), solid coverage is only half the job. Getting the right shade matters even more. Bring in a sample, tile, or a crusty wall chip — whatever you have. We’ll colour match it with no fluff and get your Ultracover mixed while you grab a meat pie across the road.

Say Goodbye to Patchwork Walls

Let’s be honest — streaky, patchy outcomes are confidence-killers. Whether you’re selling soon or just want to walk into a room that doesn’t feel like effort, paint that covers properly on the first go changes the whole game.

Tidy finish, less hassle, pro results — that’s what we aim for on every shelf in our store. If it doesn’t get you there faster, we don’t keep it.
