I got a few small cracks in my paint.. Can I do anything that may have an ok result without having to sand back.

Just thought I'd ask b4 doing something I'd regret

What type of paint?
Acrylic or 2k?
Are you able to post photos?
Cracks could be caused by filler underneath being too thick :(
If that is the case then sand back and repair may be only option

Possibly as a temporary thing, there are some coloured polishes (waxes?) available, that (from what I understand) kinda fill small blemishes and defects. I haven't used it so I cannot say if it's any good.

I think it's available as a paste and as a pencil. Try Supercrap.
