rent the setup you need from Home Depot.
I have a Porter Cable BN200 (18 gage 2"max) Brad nailer and a Accuset (16 gage
2 1/2"max) Brad nailer.
Both get only occasional use; PC was a gift & I bought the Accuset used for
$60.
Base molding; shot into sill & studs (use stud finder if you must) you'll be
able to tell the "misses"
Crown; shoot into studs & joists
18 gage makes much small "holes" in molding. 16 gage holds better but the
holes are bigger. 15 gage probably more than needed.
prime & prepaint molding; install fill with no-shrink spackle, touch up; done
YMMV
