Default Front Nose Spider Cracking

Hit a road gator today and caused some spider cracking in the paint. Anybody have experience with how to repair?

The only way to fix it right is sand it down past any visible spider webbing an repaint and reclear. If you don't sand far enough and repaint the cracks underneath will flex and then resurface.

Thanks for the reply. I kinda figured there was no easy cheap fix other than putting a bra on.
