    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 On 8/15/2011 7:18 PM, Carl Froehlich wrote: > > For those of you doing your own painting, attached photo is a water > separator that I find to work well.

    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.......
