Usually its the body glaze underneath that doesn't flex and cracks, and it pulls the paint with it.

Very likely.  But my paint still has unsightly cracks in it!

Get a random orbital sander with super high grit number sheets for it. Diablo SandNets are really nice because they don't gum up easily.

Get some sandpaper for wet hand sanding too.

Sand the cracks lightly to remove any "burrs" from the edges, then apply matched paint over it in a thin layer. You can even brush it on, though a paint sprayer will let you blend easier.

Let it cure thoroughly, then use the random orbiter to smooth the finish, and wet sand to shine.

Takes a little practice to do, but it will fix the cracks.

If you can't get exact paint matches, you will have to do paint blending with a blending solvent.

Thanks.  I have a color matched paint touch-up pen, I'll practice on some of the smaller areas.
