Strip: HVLP sprayers

Anyone had any experience with the inexpensive Campbell-Hausfeld sprayers. I looked at Home Despot this morning and saw one with a plastic canister for just over a hundred bucks. It seems like short money to spray varnish on the boats annually. Of course it only makes sense if spraying will give a better finish than brushing (which I can't seem to do all that well).

How about with the other coatings we use - LPU? two part paints? Will these work well with the HVLP sprayer?

Thanks for the advice . . .

Why not use rags and wipe on the finish?
