Check out the Auto Body Shop site <
http://www.autobodystore.com/Default.htm>. This guy knows what he's
talking about. It's a bit discouraging, but if you want a quality (even
just decent) it pays to learn from folks like this.
I also got a catalog from TP Industries (I'll dig it up and post the
number and/or URL) that shows how and why to set up the pipe system to
distribute the air. If you don't do it the way they illustrate I doubt
you'll be able to keep water out of you paint. Seems easy to do, but it's
not. Brute force filters won't do it, except maybe in Arizona or Nevada.
