To repair properly you need to grind out beyond the end of the cracks the affected area then resin and glass tissue the surface and build up to the original level flitting each time.you can put a smear of filler to finish but I prefer to stick with resin and tissue. You will need to spray the whole panel so unless it is really bad I would leave it alone.
