You could mix up some finish epoxy or 30 min and thin it with alchol (maybe 50 to 75%). After it dries scuff it with a scotch brite pad and you're read for paint.
Or just layer it with primer and sand between coats.

I use fiberglass cloth and west systems expoxy to prep surfaces for paint. Might get by on very small pieces without the cloth but larger pieces will crack open over time.
