I've painted a car with that compressor and it took a big moisture filter at the tank, an inline trap and a filter at the gun changed every time the paint cup was refilled.
Wow, that's a massive setup! I'm jealous! lol

I have a little Iron Horse 4 gallon compressor that I mainly use to air up my tires and blow out my RV water system every Fall. And I don't use it for any power tools so it gets used very little.

I also hardly use any air when I blow out my RV as most of the water is out of the system before I use the compressor. And I drain the tank after each use and I leave the valve open so any water in the air tank can evaporate.

I've done this for 14 years, on 2 different TT's, with no issues.
