Hi the crazing can happen if you don't thin the emulsion down. Dulux emulsion in particular is terrible for this.
I don't like dulux paints anyway, they are overpriced and made too thick, I use Crown, Brolac or Macphersons. None of these emulsions require thinning down and they cover very well with two coats.
Its better to put on 3 thinner coats than one thick. for strong colours a flash coat is a good idea, this is a slightly thinned layer of emulsion, this acts like a primer, then you can put two coats on top for a solid cover.
