My Cadlights stand white piano finish is not looking too great. Anyone here have any tips for getting the paint back to par?

The cracks look to me like the wood under the paint has gotten wet. The wood expands some and the paint cracks along the grain of the wood underneath. If that is what's happening here, I'm afraid it needs to be striped, dried out (maybe baked in the sun) and repainted. That is if you want the original look again.

I had a CAD light 120g tank and stand but I never had any issues like this.

Good luck and I hope some other members will have some better ideas.
 
Honestly stand never has gotten wet besides during some maintenance as expected .... not sure what’s going on. But maybe @Cadlights Aquariums can helo
 
I agree with Ron though. I think you'll need to strip the paint and put a new coat on, if you want to get rid of those cracks. You might try and simply put a coat over it, but I don't think it would look as finished as you are wanting.
