paint advice

Here's a potential important question, what is the minimum in line air drier you can get away with? Can you really just use one of the cheap disposable units? Or do you need to get one that is $250+?

all depends on your compressor, system, weather, etc..

right weather conditions, you can run a cr#ppy gas run comp , 50' of hose, an inlne water separator and gun...

`how long you squirt, etc all comes into play too.. humid and hot, you'll need all the help you can get..

but at the house with the quincy... a simple round plastic inline at the gun does fine 90% of the time... that compressor makes some pretty dry air..

now I have since put a nice dessicant filter at the comp, but even than, it's right on the tank... not plumbed up and down on the wall and down stream a bit..
so not ideal...

you getting water in your paint, you'll know it...

You nailed two of my points of reason. Because I would be shooting cheap paint, I should learn quite a bit from it. And because it wouldn't be my car, I could give a **** less how it holds up! I was thinking of a gallon from paint for cars. Com. They have gallons of uro with the reducer/hardener for as low as like $78.it would surly be not so good paint, but at least then I could afford to get some practice.

keep in mind, Nason ain't far off that most of time.. usually 125... but yeah, just douche it and give it the squint..

when ya think your gun is clean, clean it again... and that means pulling and cleaning the nozzle, needle and cap every time...

that is when you find out how dirty they are still!

like putting your engine together with out of the box sockets....you'd be surprised how dirty they are when you clean them.
