For quality painting.....
...don't trust the water trap they sell..... yes they will remove water but on a hot humid day..... whenyou blow sandy dust from parts you can see the water spray coming out of the hand held blower.
If you are serious about doing quality gloss paint finish you will need to buy an air dryer..... sold at Princess for $100... $50 on sale..... they require reloading with large white dissecant pellets about $29...... BUT.... if 99% of your painting is going to be OD army flat paint you need not worry as long as you drain your pipes and tank regular...... and keep you rubber hose as short has possible. I found that a long rubber hose stretched out on a cool cement floor on a hot humid summer day.......will condense water in the hose faster than in the tank. Where you live you are used to it but on a Summer day the humnidity level is higher than you would imagine. Watch some of the specialty primers and epoxy paint the humidity actually hardens the paint faster and may ripple before is self levels on parts. Have a beer with some of the body shop paint guys.... they can tell you tricks that will make it easier for you and may only apply to your climatic conditions.... Good luck and happy blowing.. Boob
