Humbrol

Humbrol is a successful miniature paint brand based in the UK for the past 100 years. Originally, the company made bicycle oil in 1919 under the name of ‘The Humber Oil Company’ for the booming cycling scene in Hull. In 1935, this developed into a demand for bicycle paint in a range of 12 different colours before the company moved towards model paints in the 1950s as scale model painting became more popular. This started with 50 shades of paint within the ‘One Hour Humbrol Plastic Enamel Paint’ range, before the explosion of the hobby after 1965 resulted in the 171 different colours that are available across various Humbrol ranges today.
