my paint needs a new smile!!

[mac495]

I am the third owner and the paint overall is in good shape. The paint is original lacquer from the the St. Louis plant. It is starting to get white lines through out the paint, most of it is on the hood. My last resort is to paint it!!
Any one have tips to clean this baby up.

You could have it professionally buffed but the cracks are still going to be there .It will look a little better.If its a solid color it will buff a little better than a mettalic paint,due to the lack of clear to factory paint jobs that early.
