Finishing small boxes

I am finishing a jewelry box for the wife and using Deft laquer spray cans.
I decided that these will be good Xmas presents and want to make 5 more
boxes. So after doing some googling and checking out the Critter spray gun
online at Rockler, I think this would be a better way to go than spray cans.
The Critter seems to be pretty well recommended for small projects. One
question I have is, I have a oiless compressor, 2 peak horse power,SCFM @ 40
PSIG - 3.7, and SCFM @ 90 PSIG - 2.6. Is this enough air compressor and do I
need to install anything in the line for the moisture coming from the tank.
Any advice welcomed. Thanks.

One question I have is: Why didn't you ask the Critter Company all
that?

Not only should their advice be more accurate, it would probably be
available to you a lot faster.

It is used with a 1HP oiled without problems and is ideal for small
items like small boxes. It has a small spray pattern, some say 6"
round, and works well with shellac and WB stuff. In-line filter at
the gun isn't pricey and sure beat fish eyes!
www.homesteadfinishing.com has disposable filters less than $10.00. I
use them but haven't been able to find out when to change them.
