It is quite adequate if it isnt 80/90% humidity. First, be sure your little air tank is purged of water. There should be a petcock on the bottom of the tank to drain it by blowing the compressed air out. Then put the filter on and spray! I shot the paint on my restored '55 chev doing this. No water drops anywhere. Your project is a bit smaller in scope and size.
