Painting a car at home can be an affordable way to tackle a big job yourself. There are a number of factors that could make or break your paint job. Getting or making sure you have the correct size compressor is one of the first things you should do after you decide on the color.

Tricks to getting dry Compressed Air
The invention of compressed air running tools to make jobs easier is amazing and can make our lives much easier when working in our home shop. Unfortunately some tasks to require clean, dry air to allow the tool to work as it should.

While your paint gun doesn’t care if it’s spraying 100% water or paint; your paint DOES car and you will have issues with a paint job if your air isn’t dry. Not to mention the lifespan of your air tools can be greatly reduced if you don’t have dry air running through them! We put together a few products that can be life-savers if you can’t afford an expensive filtration system at the compressor (the CORRECT, long term way to solve air moisture issues).
