Roger,
I have been painting furniture that I have built with poplar and birch plywood for a few years now using an inexpensive HVLP gun with great results. I have been using Benjamin Moore fresh start primer and Benjamin Moore Advance Waterborne Interior Alkyd Paint. With both the paint and the primer I would typically reduce with 5% flowtrol and 5% water then use a 2.0mm needle in the sprayer. I attached a few pictures to give you an idea of how it looks.
