I have an older 2 gallon 90 PSI compressor and was thinking about using it instead of a small airbrush compressor.

Is a mositure trap really necessary. I know that it has a bleeder at the bottom of the tank for moisture. I can drain any moisture there I guess ?

Any recommendations on moisture traps ? Make / model ?

Thank's

The drain on your tank takes care of the water that has collected in the tank. There will still be water suspended in the air. Which is why you need a water seperator. If not used, you stand a good chance of ruining your paint job. Just about any model water seperator will do. They are all basically the same. Harbour Frieght, sears, most hardware store will carry them if they sell compressors.
