Simple spray gloss finish

Hi,

I have some old (read crappy) furniture, a table top and some kitchen doors that I would like to spray to a half reasonable gloss or semi-gloss finish. I have access to a decent airless sprayer with a fine flow tip (310) (ie suitable for spraying neat acrylic house paints).

I want to spray a decent finish without much experience, without causing damage, with a fast drying time and prefereably clean up with water.

Surely I'm not asking too much.

My research led me to the water based enamels and then onto auto style acrylic lacquers - problem is I have not used either product.

Can anybody suggest whether I am on the right track and / or recommend a product that might work....Oh and it would be nice if it wasn't too expensive as well.

Thanks very much in advance.
