HUMBROL Paints

Founded in 1919 as the Humber Oil Company, Humbrol initially supplied bicycle oil for Hull's growing army of cyclists.  In 1935, however, the company was asked to produce paints for renovating cycles, and came up with Art Enamel. The company since became a part of the Hobby Products Group (back in 1976), and as such has grown massively from their high quality paints and accessories.
