I bought a really good caulking gun - with the spout cutter and the long cleaning pin built in - that cost me around $10 and a $5 tube of caulk. Abd it took all of 1/2 hour to do. It took longer to clean up - I get caulk (or paint, or glue, or grout) all over myself!
Honestly, even if I used a different color, the length and number of cracks wouldn't have warranted painting. Chances are you can match the color pretty close at Home Depot or Lowes.
I did a "messy" job, leaving little hills and valleys in the finish purposely so it would blend in better.
Good luck and I'm glad I could help a little.
