We repainted after 4 1/2 years to keep ahead of the problem you ran into. Paint was getting thin overall and getting little cracks.

Our painter, who is a home inspector, pointed out that this happens around 4 or 5 years to many houses.

Cracks need to be cleaned out and calked before painting. Area around windows needs to be sealed before painting too.
