I have a feeling the regulator on my little baby has a moisture capture gizmo on it. I know it has the regulator and some other stuff im not sure of.

Great set up ! Bet you just sit on the seat (bargain !) and stare at that sweet 9
If you are going to spraypaint something , try waiting till the air humidity is very low , makes a big difference . Dont forget to grain the air receiver / tank every now an then . And those little compressors tend to "walk " around a fair bit so dont let them get too close to anything that might get damaged from the vibration , like the car door or belly pan on a sweet 9 .

Nah mate I can't paint anything more than a house cause you can use a brush for that. My uncle once painted a car with a brush and house paint and that looked shit so I never tried.
I know about draining the tank...used to work for Goodyear and we did that every day there. It's amazing how ofter I need to visit the shed to check/get something. Sometimes think about cleaning up but yeah often take the cover of Beastie and sigh.

fwiw...there is a very good article on compressors, accessories and air tools in the latest Street Machine mag (blue capri on front)
yeah I know..its a car mag but read it, borrow it or whatever..those 6 pages are quite good
