     Looking for some wisdom from the list.  My Spit has developed some 
     paint cracks on the bonnet.  The cracks are in the center of the 
     bonnet on both sides of the raised portion and on the right wing about 
     3" down from the top.  Both cracks run almost the length of the 
     bonnet.  The paint job is about 18 months old.  Paint is acrylic 
     enamel with hardener and fisheye additives.  No cracks have appeared 
     anywhere else on the car.  The bonnet stiffener is in place and tight 
     and there are no metal defects in these areas.  Are Spits prone to 
     this problem ?  Thanks in advance for your help.
