Is there an airless sprayer that would be good for paint and poly/lacquer? I’m sure having two different sprayers is the way to go, but if you’re on a budget, and one is more feasible than two. Any recommendations?
I’m not aware of one. I use an HVLP turbine sprayer for both paint and poly.

What was make and model number? What about over spray?
Hi B D,
The gun used was a Wagner Power Painter Plus http://amzn.to/2n8c7wc A gun like this will have more overspray than an HVLP, so you’ll need to take some precautions to not have overspray where you don’t want it.
Happy Woodworking!

I would have liked if he had discussed if paint needs thinning any and a good way to clean up sprayer after using. Also when paint is throwing splatter onto the project , what to do ?
Agree that thinning should have been discussed as its a key constrain of spraying paint with these small airless sprayers. I have a Wagner Control Spray Max, and can attest that thinning latex paint is a must. For my particular sprayer, this guy wrote a great overview of what’s required for spraying latex. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R7CRQ0Q5C4SH4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003PGQI48
