Gunsmithing Air System for Cerakote?

[Dennis_in_VA]

What filters / water separators are y'all using for Cerakote or paint applications?

Do you use more than one in line, like maybe one at each end of the line going from the tank to the spray gun?

Thanks for your help.

I have a filter at the the wall where the compressor plugs in and another filter with desiccant to help catch water in the booth. It has seemed to do well and havent had any problems.

drill some holes in a used toilet paper roll, then wrap with cotton balls and duct tape. Make sure tape is wrapped tightly.

Premier air systems dryer/oil separator.

Spendy, but worth every penny.

Devilbiss DAD500 is what I run second choice would an RTI elimonator 1000. You need a good desicent dryer and charcoal filter. Both of these units are used in thousands of paint booths around the country. A mistake most people make is their filters and dryers are too close to the compressor. The air coming out of the pump is hot and most filters are most effective with air less than 100f. You should have at least 30-50 feet of pipe before your dryer. Unless you have an after cooler. Also drain the water from your tank regularly or install an auto drain.
