So, no dryer or filtration, just a straight line from your compressor to your gun and everything turned out great? Oil and water contamination not a problem with this set up? I have a 25 gallon compressor and I’m willing to give it try.
No, negative! My fault- I should have been more clear. An oil/ water seperator was definately in play for everything I've painted. As was an air pressure regulator/gauge added to the gun.
