I agree with Sammie. There is a auto paint supplier that I have used in the past. Tasco Auto Color 10323 Veterans Memorial Drive Houston, TX 77038 281-999-3761 They have the filters and everything else you would need.

They are about the same size as a tennis ball and are plastic. All auto paint stores have them for about $8. You screw them into your air line just before the gun and they absolutely trap all water. The water trap/filter on the compressor works, but not well enough to shoot auto paint in Houston. There is too much water in the air.
