I'm all out of sandpaper but i've chiseled the paint back a bit with a screwdriver, can't see any major crack underneath, but it's far from conclusive:
I'm probably not going to use this fork again, and to be honest the bike is a size too small for me anyway.
As far as the flex goes, would the paint cracking be a symptom of a low end fork taking a beating over the last few years? I'm sure this fork isn't the stiffest. I'm not one to dodge holes in the road and I enjoy jumping off kerbs!
