I've found using a foam painting brush eliminates streaking. Give it try. Jan, UK

First, do the edges with a high end natural brush. Next, roll-on paint with a regular roller, then re-roll the wet area with a special, high-quality low-nap roller for "finishing". To bad you can take it off & spray it!

When I painted my laminate cupboard doors I was advised to buy a small sized roller specifically designed for enamel/gloss paints, it did a great job and brush strokes were not a concern. An added bonus was that the job was done much more quickly.
