bad finish on paint help?

hey guys i was washing my car the other day and since i came across an area where the bondo is cracking.... i bought the car a couple months ago and havent paid much attention to it.

it also looks like on the other side of the car he also spray painted the same colour (i have no idea why) but its super rough.

If bondo is cracking, the only real fix is to take it off and start over.

I'd wager that the bondo is not cracking but is peeling away from the metal due to poor prep. Regardless you will need to find a better bodyman, or become a better bodyman as the case may be.
