This car is fighting me to the end. I've had just about every problem I could have now it is water in the paint. I have 2 water separators and drained the compressor. But no luck, little droplets are making a mess.

What kind of air compressor are we using? Oil bath or oil free.....oil free is bad news

Your water traps should be 50 to 70 Feet away from your compressor to work.

your having a heck of a time, arent you???
wish i was there to help you out on this one.

Get the water separators as far away as you can. Then use a disposable water trap on the bottom of the paint gun.
I use to have a 50 hose coming off the tank. At the end of that was the sep, then another 25ft hose to the gun.
putting the distance from the comp to the seps gives the air time to cool and the moisture to condensate for the traps to work their best.
