Thanks Jimv, Thanks for the information Jim, I think you're right. I did drain a couple of ounces from the compressor before the blushing occured but it may have acumulated again and in combination with the wind coming up the blushing occured. I do have a small water trap at the gun but it may be too small to perform it's job. I will buy or build a bigger water filter before I apply the color dope. this week-end looks very promising for painting. This is really getting exciting.Regards,Domenico Bellissimo________________________________________________________________________________

This will require a largedryer with a lot of desicant in it. At least a bushel. The more thebetter. Take a look at Ted Davis's at Brodhead. WHOOPS, Ted has moved tohis own strip about 5 miles east of Brodhead. ________________________________________________________________________________
