Paint on my hood looks like an antique picture

I was going to wax my 99 EX Accord (emerald green pearl) this last weekend
and after a thorough wash and dry my hood looked as if the cotton cloth had
left a bunch of lint on it. Upon closer investigation I found it was not
lint but what appeared to be an (for lack of a better word) antiquing affect
of the paint...clear coat. It literally looks like a couple of 100 year old
oil painting where the paint is crackling. The crackling is white and it
does look like very small cotton lint. If you rub the paint there is no
texture to it so it's under the paint/clear coat. My uneducated mind when
it comes to the painting process of a car wants to think that the clear coat
is cracking. Any thoughts, other than I'm probably gonna have to have the
hood repainted next spring. I've got an appointment at a recommended paint
shop on Monday.

Exact thing happened to my '96 Black (dark brown really) Civic. Discovered
about three years ago and has not gotten worse. Mine definitely has a
texture to the crackes. Sort of like this ___/ \___, but lesser degree.
Never did find out if it's defective paint/process or mere impacts.

Similar thing happened to my brother's 98 EX-V6 (black). He had a Honda
service rep look at it, and ended up getting Honda to pay half of the costs
for a new paintjob on the hood. This just happened a month or two ago....so
you might be able to get some help if you are persistent with them.

Good luck.
