Cost is not the main factor, but because I would use it very seldom, I

Can anyone recommend a specific brand, and/or actual model number ?

By the way, I will be using latex paint.

thanks !!

Check out the HVLP, or high volume low pressure sprayers. These don't
require as much air as a lot of sprayers. For your small needs, one should
do the job. I've seen them for $35 - $50, depending on quality, condition,
etc. You did not state if you had a compressor, but may be able to borrow
one for this small project.

Spray light sprays, going over it several times. This will avoid dripping.
Be sure to prepare the surface, sanding and brushing to remove paint that
may soon peel or drop off. Take your time, and do one coat and let it dry
overnight, then another. You will get better results.
