Unless the exhaust of the compressor is isolated completely from the intake -- which is not usually the case -- there is danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. The air can also contain CO from pressure combustion of lubricants inside the compression piston. These things make the air far more unsafe than possible paint residue.

What kind of air is in an air compressor?

An air compressor sucks in and compresses air from the atmosphere. Whatever contaminants present in the air at the air intake of the compressor will be present in the air which is discharged from the compressor, with the possible exception of particulates which are filtered by the intake air filter. It is possible that carbon monoxide and other engine exhaust emissions, or ambient gases, or polutants can be in the atmosphere near the compressor intake. These invisible gases mix with the "air" and are compressed and discharged from the compressor. This is one reason why it is not safe to breath the air from a compressor unless the compressor is labeled that it is rated and approved as a breathing air source. Even then, the compressor must be in proper working condition and be operated by a qualified person. Breathing air from a compressor that is not rated and approved for breating air applications CAN KILL YOU.
