Applying Polycrylic to Painted Laminate Counter?

I have finished priming and painting (marbelizing) a laminate bathroom counter using acrylic paints. I'm now having difficulty getting a smooth finish with the polycrylic (Minwax). The sponge roller leaves bubbles and bumps. After sanding, I tried applying it with a soft brush, but it leaves brushstrokes. Thin coats and heavier coats have the same result. Any suggestions?

I painted my kitchen counter with special countertop paint. I then sealed it with water-based urethane. After the first coat of urethane dried, I sprayed water on it and hand sanded. I have a total of three coats, wet-sanding after each one. Very smooth finish.

Hope this helps!

I used acrylic paint on my cubards they are all hand painted my original idea did not look like I wanted.. it has turned into wat more time then I ever thought. Old home, I don't own it but I'm free to do as I please.

so the cheaper upgrade is what I did. I wish I took before pictures. I had the same issue of smearing when polycrylic was applied. i ended up using the polycrylic spray first, after it dried i used polyacrylic with zero issue
