Nice Job, Looks Great. Keep up the good work.

Fidel
its not much of a problem if you do a pass with a drying towel first to wipe off the excess water before actually firing up the blower..

I did not pre wipe as stated above by Fidel and I found it almost impossible to clear water droplets off the Hood. Roof and Cover with the blower. so next time I will try the Pre wipe down and then go after it with the blower.
tnx

The best advice I can give you on your new compressor is to get an "air dryer" for it compressors have the tendency to push oil through the air line and you will put a slight mist of oil back on your finish. You ask where would the oil come from? Blow bye from the rings and the condensation would carry the oil through the system.
The best place is to place the air dryer right on the outlet of the tank.

Good luck.

Thanks, Beercan, that's good advice, but the compressor I got is a little oilless one...the only thing I should have to worry about is if the receiver gets rusty and starts spewing out rusty condensate...I will probably have to put a coalescing filter on the outlet for that.

I just picked a filter/seperator like this:

Haven't got a chance to try it out yet but it should help.

I'm sure you're aware of this Mike but I'll post it in case someone out there might not be familiar with pumps:

Another thing to be aware of is duty cycle. Blowguns need lots of air so even with an accumulator the pump may end up working over time trying to keep up.

Most oil-less piston compressors are not rated for continuous operation. Make sure to let it rest per the manufacturer's recommendations or it might seize the piston, score the head, etc.
