    Looks great Dale.

    Regarding the fisheye's, do you have one of those small red filters on your spray gun? I used to get compressor oil though my air line even though there were filters upstream, but one of those small filters took care of the issue.

      No I don't have Ed. Oil coming through the lines was one of the thoughts I had also. I plan on picking a couple of them up in the next day or two.

        My recent Ebay purchase arrived this afternoon. It's an Exair water separater and pressure regulator combo unit. I cobbled together a mounting bracket and plumbed it up with some odds and ends I had lying around. This poor 'boot' is starting to look like a real one.








        The motor guard inline filters arrived in yesterday's post. They're about five levels above the ones they sell at HF.






        Tomorrow's project is making the wall mounted air condenser.

            It doesn't look like a poorman boot anymore. It's starting to look like a permanent structure in the garage...To bad for the car.

              Daniel, I made it so it can be disassembled and stored. The cars are safe!

              Chuck, I am so far from Larry' abilities it isn't funny. I'm just a garage painter trying to do the best I can.

                    Greg, Chuck, you'll just have to take my word for it.

                    Air line condenser is done. Twenty-five feet of air hose and another twenty-five of half inch pcv making up the condenser, plus an additional seven feet more of green air hose should be enough to condense out a good portion of moisture from the air. Well in theory it should.

                      Cut each long leg of the condensor at one corner and add a Tee with about a 6 inch drip leg. Add a ball valve at the ends of the drip legs to drain. That way youll have three potential traps for anything roaming around the pipe

                      Will water trap in the bottom of the coils of the rolled up hose? Maybe better to have just a short uncoiled run to the condensor???

                        Chuck, I suspect some moisture may settle out in the coiled up hose, but as little as the compressor runs I really don't believe it will cause me any trouble. Just in case, I do plan on running the hose towards the garage door and straight back when I put on the sandable primer tomorrow.

                          So, you've decided to go pro and open a spray painting business?

                            With all the water in the air here I REALLY need a setup like this for mine.Think I'm stealing this

                              Greg, if you do, you may want to use five lines instead of the three I used.

                              Make sure you use NSF-PW PVC (or equivalent) and fittings as they are pressure rated. The 1/2" line I used was rated up to 600 p.s.i.

                              The 1/2'- 10' plastic line cost $1.38 a stick.
                              A ten piece bag of 1/2" elbows cost $2.70.
                              The two 1/2" to 1/2" NPT bushings were $.97 ea.

                              The brass bushings connecting plastic to the air line fittings were $4.99 each

                                Up here in TGWN prices might be a titch higher but not enough to not do it.Unless I move my compressor 4 lines would be better for me.My space is a little more cramped so I'm kind of thinking a stack of 8 5' sections closer together and putting then behind the compressor and moving my toolbox in front of them to shied it from klutzy me
