James, find out what type paint he used, this could be lacquer which will
stretch and crack, it could also be way to much paint sprayed on the
affected areas which will cause cracking, or it could just be very poor prep
work, the usual way of correcting this is stripping it down and redoing it
correctly, sorry for that kind of view. "FT"
