Have a few bubbles on my hood. Anything I can do to prevent them from cracking?

No I can't take it back to where it was painted...bought it this way.

Bubbling may be a sign of rust on the surface below the paint. No way to fix it but to strip it down to the metal, repair and repaint.

I agree. Once the paint has bubbled, you're never going to get it to stick back to the metal. If you have touch-up paint you couldsand down the affected areas and blend it in, but it's not perfect and you'll likely always be able to see the spot.
