    I recently painted a bedroom, and now small cracks have appeared. Due to the impossible original colour, I needed 3 coats. Anyone know how this might have happened, too thick maybe?

    This can happen when you apply a number of coats before the previous coats has dried out properly, or as stated to thick because it wasnt applied right.

    I see, I'm not an experienced painter, I just took advantage of a few days off work, but what is done is done and will have to do at this point. Was just curious to know why, but only visible up close

    How would one best rectify such an issue?
