Clean dry supply air for spraying

[crumpton]

I believe in gravity to keep most moisture out of the lines entering the paint booth but gravity alone won't do it. What are you guys using as your final dryer/filtration.

My compressor is at least 50' from the booth and bulk of that run will be sloping towards the source.

I'm considering the Camair QC3. Gets great reviews and is somewhat affordable at sub $200.

Recommendations?

Nick,

Here's what I like...

The greatest disadvantage of the QC3 system is the need for the replacement cartridges...just hate paying 40 bucks a pop when the life is indeterminate.

You know painting aint cheap, better to buy right the first time.

This is what we use for air, no painting though. Van dryers have dissicant pellets sold separately. The pellets last for a while

I use something like what Rody uses. It's not DeVilbiss but some other maker. It cost me around $500-$600 from my local jobber. Money well spent.

Also I installed an automatic float drain on my compressor. I think this helps to reduce what makes it down the line to your primary filters.

I've been looking at this dryer/regulator. Comes in at $360 with free shipping. I've had amazing service from them. I'll be buying my next welder from them.
