Doesn't look like cracking to me but if it bothers you, Take the lid off and send it out to get refinished.

That is not cracking in the powder coating. That is in the metal of the casting.
Only way to get rid of that would be to grind/sand/polish that out and then re-powder coat. |

Was it done by Whipple or a powdercoating company?

Looks to me like shrinkage in the coating due to it being too thick and/or not properly cured. Ive seen that happed on auto paint before, although IF this is powdercoating then it sounds like a strange effect.
