I have an opinion.

The moisture trap doesnt not affect the consistency of the paint, turn the pressure up to about 30PSI, thin the paint a little more, strain it (Nylons work well), then spray anywhere from 8-12inches away.

That should cure your problem. The moisture trap has nothing to do with it.

Read your manual and check the maximum pressure setting so you dont put to much pressure on your brush. Then mess with the pressure settings between 18-35psi.

Tamiya paints spray real well when they are thinner then milk, and almost like water. Sometimes I will mix half and half. Also make sure you are using rubbing alcohol or the tamiya acrylic thinner.

If you have any more problems, PM me.
