You need a good external air filter/water separator. I use this one and it works great. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=1118
I use an inline dessicant air dryer also for painting. A brand new compressor is going to make as much moisture as an old one. The water vapor is in the air before it is compressed and will condense out after it is compressed regardless of what compressor you use. An old oil filled compressor will give you more oil in the air, but the same amount of water as a new one. Obviously, you will notice more water on humid days also.

Is there a good system for removing the moisture from the air? Is my compressor just too old? would a compressor overhall help the problem? I drain the tank and separator often, but not every day.
