1: Is there difference between moisture traps, is there a type that you recommend, do you use a moisture trap? |

I now use a Badger inline trap. You can buy it separately and splice it into your hose or buy a hose with the trap already fitted. Although I do have trap/regulator fitted to my Bagder 180 compressor, I found that some moisture would occasionally shoot out after an extended paint session with my Paasche H and it's six foot hose. The in-line trap eliminated all problems.

2: Will a lower pressure setting give me finer lines, high pressure wider coverage? |

To a degree. When painting a fine line, you have the brush really close to the surface with low pressure (10 PSI-ish) and a nearly closed tip. When you want wide coverage you pull the brush back, and open up the tip and usually you'll need more pressure depending on how far off the surface you are.

3: I was experimenting with between 20 - 30 psi, what psi do you brush with? |

I might be as low as 10 PSI for doing narrow lines. For normal use probable more like 15 PSI and maybe up to 20 when doing broad coverage. I think I use a little more air pressure for my Paasche H than I do with my Badger 200NH.
