the clarke semi hobby/ind range is excelent only ever go for an oiled one though
for constanr spraying you wil need a good cfm but i really reccomend the 12£ guns on ebay that dont need massive air how much are you willing to spend, including a reg, water trap decent length hose and all fittings ect.

Tell me more about how you're planning to spray the MDF? Are you aiming for the shiny plastic finish?

As for spraying, agree with the comments already said, although it MAY be worth considering an HVLP set up, like an Apollo one, seem to be liked by the woodworking fraternity.
