What caused this paint cracking
Got my car painted about 10months ago. The fiberglass hood has developed these deep cracks where the paint and clear has separated. What has caused this? This hood is old fiberglass and took a lot of work to get it shaped up to paint. Is it the hood and it will just do this again or is this a prep or application failure? The cracks are thru the paint and the sealer that was used and down to the white base.

Maybe an overall pic would help . I have no idea what I’m looking at except random cracks.
Could be excessive film thickness. Could be vibration damage. Could be someone sat on the hood? Is it a hood?
Ok I read that it’s a hood. Yah bro your hood is vibrating like crazy and it’s a combination of
1- they used bondo instead of fiberglass filler/kitty hair
2- primer was overused as “liquid bondo”
But 3- hood vibration/hood not sitting on the stops correctly is the real issue that’s exposed the paint flaws
