Paint cracking on my VW. What can I do to slow it down/stop it?

Car was painted by the previous owner. As you can see, I’ve got the paint cracking on the rear trunk/engine lid. I suspect that he applied too many layers of paint and the vibration of opening and closing the lid is causing the paint to crack. Any suggestions as to how this occurred and what I can do to try and slow down or stop any further cracking? Thanks! I really want to avoid having to repaint the engine lid as I’m not sure I can find an exact match to the paint. Plus it would be a pain in the butt to do so.
