I'd use two filters, one regulator is enough though. The main concern is
water, you don't want it coming out in the air stream. With small single
stage compressors such as the one you're looking at, the air gets *very*
hot as it's compressed. This allows the air to hold more moisture which
then causes water droplets to form as it's released from the end of the hose.
Two good filters/water traps should be enough to keep the air dry.

It's probably easier to justify the nailer than the glorified OM duster :-)
It sure beats those cans of compressed air though!
