The paint keeps cracking because the paint below has dried too long, and you're laying the paint on top too thick. I've had that problem when painting guitars, and doing 16+ coats. So you may be laying all your coats too thick.
Is that Pearl stuff powder? If so then you'd just mix it with your paint, preferably the clear top coat, and apply with an airbrush.
If it's liquid it may interact with your paint, find out if it's laquer, enamel, or other base.
