I have purchased an air compressor and a paasche VLS airbrush and I would like to get this set up so I can start learning how to airbrush. I would like to insure that I have my compressor and air brush set up properly to minimize beginning difficulties. My compressor has a regulator and water trap but I was wondering if a second in-line water trap at the air brush is needed? I was wondering if the main regulator at the air compressor was sufficient realizing that I will have to check it for its minimum air pressure. Are there examples of having to use two regulators and how would I know If I would even have to worry about this? I was reading a few articles and read that bottom feed airbrushes require more bottom end PSI for proper painting?

These are just a few questions I have--I plan to read through the many forum posts looking for answers but there are just so many of them!! Hopefully someone could send me a quick forum reference to my questions or send me a diagram of an optimal airbrush set up. Any help that can be given would be really appreciated. I would just like to say thank you in advance for any help that can be sent my way!!!

To address one of your points. Since you are in Ohio where it can be fairly humid, I would recommend an inline water trap as close to the airbrush as possible.
