Get the surface right on newly plastered foundation wall

I have now plastered the foundation wall a couple of times with C-mortar. The result is okay, but I'm not entirely satisfied. I have floated and been as meticulous as I can, but I can't achieve a homogeneous "smooth" surface; it becomes a bit "rough" in some places and smoother and finer in others. I understand it has to do with the floating process, when to float, etc., etc., but now the question is if there is any surface coat I can apply before painting? I don't know what it could be, but it doesn't hurt to ask so I don’t miss a "simple fix." Ordinary baseboard paint won't hide anything. Going over with mortar and trying to improve small details will likely look patchy since it will have a different surface finish if you "patch" small spots with fine mortar. Applying another layer of plaster is something I will not do... then I'll have to live with the result as it is and make sure to choose a forgiving color :)
