I have a 7.5 hp compressor and I’m just about to buy an air regulator, filer, and oiler. I use a lot of pneumatic tools that require oil but I also paint cars. Would I be able to use the same hose that has the oiler hooked up to it to paint my cars? I think the oil in the hose would get into the paint. Do I need to change hoses every time?

  you will have to change the hose and disconect the oiler..it will contaminate the automotive paint as you spray it

  You need to have seperate hoses for oiled tools and non-oiled tools (paint guns). Otherwise your paint will have fish eyes.
