Experiment with the thinning ratio or where do we start?

The at-gun throwaway water filter is sufficient because I always had the impression you were supposed to use that WITH the permanent at-compressor type water separator?
Apparently, the Rustoleum can be sprayed with no thinning using the right gun. I tried to thin it once, but didn't work so well.

With just about any paint, there are usually instructions on what ratio to thin the paint.

Spraying primer or flat paint is pretty easy; even I managed with this one.

The paint was Durabuild primer if I remember correctly
