I hate to say it but something that big should probably be professionally repaired or you'll most likely see it. (at least you would if I did the repair)

The only way to fix a bubble that large is to sand it down to the primer, or further if needed, and repaint. There is no quick and easy fix.

Photo would help.
Post 2 & 3 may be correct.

A brush touch repair may look worse.
FWIW Maybe a pinstriping option over the damage?

Good luck.

Do you own a device capable of illustrating the issue here? Sketch artist? Caricature artist? No idea what "paint bubble with a crack" looks like. So I recommend sanding the entire car down to glass and respray. May have to drill out the bubble. Or wrap the car!
