I'm not sure or aware of anything that would work to smooth out the texture and not crack off. You can paint by using the kits sold at Home Depot. They have step by step instructions in the kit
I would go to a store like Home Depot and see what kind of self leveling products they would recommend. Perhaps something similar to a poly?

How can I "paint" my textured laminate counter tops?
Hi Dorothy - paint is not going to change the texture of a counter. What about contact paper?
Hi Dorothy,
My name is Linda and I asked the same question last January. I still haven't done the project, but I got a lot of answers. I think the best tip for me was this one "A few coats of a high build primer should eliminate the texture."
Here's the link to the ideas I got so that you can see them all. Wishing you the best!
