DuraCoat w/ Hotdog Compressor

[JNewell]

I'm getting tired of using canned air for spraying DuraCoat. I've stayed away from using my hotdog compressor because it doesn't have an inline moisture or oil trap and I worry about contaminating the DuraCoat.

Is this a realistic concern or am I over-thinking it? I am going to call LCW on Monday but thought I'd see what folks here thought.

I bought a 20$ airbrush kit from Harbor freight and a couple of adapters and used my sears air compressor just fine. No problems with water yet. Looked good across the board. I do a full tank purge before I buildup to use the airbrush to eliminate any residual water.

I went on ebay and got a 3horse compressor for 30 bucks. I got a decent hplv gun from napa and have done 11 different gins and one maglite with no water trap.

Oh you don't have to worry about reducing it with the hplv you just up your air. And you can spray the kg guncote pretty awesome with it too

LCW said no problem without a filter, which surprised me. I would not want to risk oil or water contamination since I'm not using a diaphragm compressor. I installed a water/oil/particle filter inline and am having no trouble at 30psi or so.
