Do you guys who use this type of compressor (whether from HF or elsewhere) have problems with condensation?  If so, how do you deal with it?

I have an extra moisture/oil trap mounted on my compressor.  In addition, I keep the compressor in my basement, which is air-conditioned & heated in the summer & winter just like the rest of my house.  If you can feed an air compressor low humidity air to begin with, there's very little moisture to condense when the air is compressed.

Plus, I tend to spray a lot more water-based acrylic paints with my air brushes , which don't seem to be affected near as much with moisture in the compressor/air lines.  And most of my solvent-based spray painting is achieved with rattle-can spray paints.  I'm not about to mess with airbrushing if a spray can of Krylon or Rustoleum or whatever will do the same job.
