Why is it that you can put paint on the wall, I mean it’s wet with paint on the first coat, then when it dries you can find those tiny little areas with NO PAINT?
Is this an act of Physics?
Are there colorless voids in the canned paint?
Does “surface tension” pull the stuff back?
Is there an answer other than a second coat?

It's the paint knomes.
Same force that creates a sudden, temporary hole in your racquet, bat, etc. just as the ball approaches it.
This is the reason you paint W's when rolling out.
When I started doing that many moons ago I never had your problem anymore.

I sympathize with you--same thing happened when I painted a dark stairwell. Kept checking with a portable light, evrything was wet. Then after it's dry the owners complain. When I look, even in their dim light, I can see all sort of little bare spots. In my case I touched them up rather than paint a second coat (I had to put planks out to my ladder downstairs and balance precariously and didn't care to do that again.) I've heard that Flowtrol will help prevent the "holidays". Have to try it. Had another job where the paint (good paint, B-M) would not spread--was like smearing honey; lap marks and holidays and the HO wife standing over my shoulder pointing them out. And yet the paint was wet enough to make the drywall paper blister in one spot (HO also noted that, of course), thank God it flattened again when the paint dried.
I always add Flotrol to my paint but it doesnt prevent holidays.
What it does is keeps the paint wet longer so you can go back and gently roll out the holidays before the paint dries.
It also makes the paint go on smoother and is a must for spray jobs.
Be wet ; )~
