If it was over vinyl silk you have your answer...
Id go over the whole lot again with 'real' paint...the one coat stuff can be far to thick and 'dry'
When paint dries the paint film shrinks as thewater evapourates, and the pigment joins together ..if it cant 'grip' to whatever you have put it on then it will crack and craze.
The more pigment in a paint the less flexibility it has so it cant cope with the shirkage and the lack of adhesion to the coating underneath

I agree with the last post, rubbish stuff. I also have the cracking affect and now have to repaint with real paint. Waste of cash!
It's not always one coat. Can even happen with good old Dulux Trade.
It can depend greatly on what it's going over.
