Tools: Spraying varnish

Anyone have experience spraying a varnish finish using a compressor and spray gun? I guess I am looking for an excuse to buy a compressor. I am not sure about the pressure requirements for spraying. Most compressors list 2.7 scfm at 40 lbs and 3.6 scfm at 90 lbs. Is this adquete to run a spray gun? What is a reccomendation as far as an all around compressor (spraying, nailing, etc.) Thanks for the feedback.
