I would say sand it... repaint it... then clear coat it... Cracks are a hard thing to fix in paint unless you totally redo it... as I learned when I had to repaint my motorcycle.

cracking is caused by applying your paint to thick or not waiting long enough between coats. sand it down, reprime it and repaint it.
