The cracking is happening under the clear coat, mainly the cause is the base coats and the white color coats, they didn't heat the coats enough or too thick of each layer of coats.

It's workmanship, whoever did the paint job was rushing it therefore the coating starts cracking after one year.

It will be difficult for you to trace down which shop/dealer did the paint job thus difficult to file a warranty claim.

But you will have to get it fix aka repaint the whole hood otherwise the paint gonna crack through the clear coat and the aluminum hood gets corrosion/oxide then you'll be in big trouble.

honey~~~

all my good luck for you on this one...
