Settin up a small garage paint setup.
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 2:24 pm
So I have decided to get into a little bit of painting. But first of all I need to set up my garage properly. And by that I mean air compressor, Air dryer system and sprayguns.
What I have so far is a Large air compressor, its an atlas copco compressor 10hp 2 sylinder with a 370liter tank. I know it will be more than sufficient for painting since the shop I bought it from used it for this. Its a big beast.
I have a Devilbiss Finishline 3 spray gun, probably best for priming and such, But I plan on buying another gun for bc\cc. Maybe a devilbiss 670 plus or similar.
But what Im really lacking is a good air drying system, and setting up the piping for the air compressor. I have an Idea and saw coronet 68 post a drawing of how to line up the system.
But what Air drying\desccicant to run is a real puzzle for me.
This is a very expensive setup I think but probably a good one.

I struggle to find someone who delivers 3\4" copper piping here in norway so I will just have to se what I find for piping from the compressor to the filter, but I have a good 25 feet to run the line before entering the filter so hopefully it will be cooled alot before entering the filter, and with such a large compressor I guess it wont be on for the whole time. The compressor is rated at 990l min but don't remember the pressure. will mild steel piping do the trick if thats all I can find. I know copper is preferred, but hard to find. I find some 15mm wich is a bit smaller than 3\4" but very expensive.
anyone have any suggestions on air dryer system for a small garage setup, The biggst things I will be painting is probably a door or 2 or a fender.
Hoping to here from you guys.
