however, if the cracking looks like fine spiderwebs or crack patterns beneath the clear coat, that is a sign of clear coat failure. worse, if the paint is cracking and peeling off in chunks or flakes (yung tipong kita na yung primer or bare metal sa ilalim), then all that paint needs to be stripped off and the whole car repainted. otherwise, the failure of the coat beneath will eventually destroy the freshly-painted coat.
