For what it's worth, another data point.
I painted my RV-6A in July and August of 2004 in Florida where and when
the temperature and humidity, are always very high. Initially, I worried
about water in the air line and read of many solutions that involved
cooled coils in the air line. However, I avoided those complications by
using a filter at the gun and had no water problems. I used conventional
high pressure guns, a de Vilbiss touch-up gun for small parts and a
gravity feed gun (forgot the brand name) for the large areas. My paint
sequence was: wash primer followed by epoxy primer, then color followed
by clear. At no time did I observe any water droplets. The painted
result was excellent.
If you look past the well used and messy spray gun, I've attached a
couple of pictures of my touch-up gun with the in-line filter (the black
thing below the pressure gauge).
Best regardsto all those brave souls who do their own painting,
Richard Dudley
RV-6A

I used the same set up (black filter/ water trap) on my Devilbiss HVLP spray
gun in 2002 when I painted my RV-4 with no water issues. Had some issues b
efore I installed the trap, but not after. Now if they could develop a bug t
rap.......
