You will be just fine. Keep your tools lubed, don't expect heavy use
without resting for some air. .Or get an inline regulator and regulate the
air to the tool down to a minimum pressure to keep the backlog of pressure
going longer.

If you don't have a separator, don't try to paint, and don't try to sand
furniture you are going to finish because it will eventually become sprayed
with dirty oil. Ask me how I know.
