hi,ask yourself this ,did you prep terracotta before painting,was theweather ok,did you read tin about preparation of backgrounds.maybe a primer was needed.why dont you give area a light sand,clean off and try recoating see how it comes out.sometimes these products dont do what they say on the tin.maybe one coat not enough. anthony

A primer undercoat or masonry paint would have been the appropriate thing to use in this situation.
