ᐅ New exterior paint has developed cracks

Hi everyone,
I had the facade of my house painted by a professional company, using silicone resin paint as stated in the quote.
After the first coat, I noticed many cracks in the paint. It was painted two more times, but without any improvement. Previously, the facade had no cracks.
The facade has many indentations due to the plaster. The paint was applied with a roller.
Now the company says these are just air bubbles and that this does not affect the quality.
I don’t believe that.
What do you think about this?
Best regards,
Ulfi
I’ve attached a photo!

Hello, schwarzmeier, you are deviating from the actual topic!!!!! I think Netzer could also defend himself quite well if he wanted to. Or do you have a halo? But when someone runs out of arguments, they have to come up with something else. Why should I have lost control? I still stand by my previous posts. After all, where else do the thousands of defect reports, lawsuits, and expert reports each year come from? Certainly not from properly executed work. How about making some statements about the appearance of the facade, frost damage due to moisture in winter, why the facade was repainted free of charge, dirt accumulation in the crevices. For you, only the guidelines of your Bavarian beer table friend apply!!!!!! Since you like emoticons so much, I made you another one.

You see all sorts of things in the coffee grounds!
I don’t have a halo,
the arguments are on the table,
I haven’t come across any mention of thousands of defect reports, lawsuits, or expert reports in the specialist press, but I would be grateful for any references to where this is documented. That would be nice, because of the expert report commissions.
Dirt stuck in the texture depths of rough plaster is unavoidable and not a defect; the hairline cracks are negligible compared to the plaster grooves as a proportion.
If by “my Bavarian beer table friend” you mean your colleague Netzer, you are mistaken again. I have never had a beer with Netzer, and Netzer is not responsible for the guidelines either.
As far as I know, there are no painter’s laws, not even in Bavaria!
Your emoticons keep getting cooler.
Cheers, Thommi!!!

I don’t have a halo,
the arguments are clear and on the table.
From the thousands of defect reports, legal cases, and expert opinions, I haven’t seen anything reported in the professional press, but I would appreciate references if you know where to find them. That would actually be nice, because of the expert assignments.
Dirt deposits deep in the texture of rough plaster are unavoidable and not a defect; the small surface cracks are negligible compared to the plaster grooves in scale.
If by "my Bavarian beer table colleague" you mean Mr. Netzer, you’re mistaken again. I have never had a beer with Netzer, and he is also not responsible for the guidelines.

Your smileys are getting more and more impressive.
Cheers, Thommi!!!

@Schwarzmeier, you wrote a lot again but unfortunately nothing meaningful. By Bavarian beer table colleagues, I meant the experts in the Bavarian painting and decorating trade. Perhaps you should not stick your nose so much in the professional press but simply follow the broadcast and press, where construction defects are actually reported almost weekly.

Next time I’ll make you a nice smiley again!!!

I think Netzer could defend himself quite well if he wanted to.

Defend myself against what?
To me, these are just normal superficial drying cracks, skin cracks, within the plaster layers! Due to the already applied primer coat, the subsequent finishing coat, and the, in my opinion, not necessarily needed third coat with the same appearance for whatever reason, the protective function of the coating should not be reduced!
I don’t care what you both continue to write here!
Have fun!

Hello everyone
I wanted to get back to you.
The representative from the paint company and the head of the painting contractor both assured me in writing during their visit that this is not a defect. Therefore, there is no reduction in the protection of the facade.
I hope they are right.
For me, the matter is now closed.
Thank you very much for your help.
