I'm getting tired of using canned air for spraying DuraCoat. I've stayed away from using my hotdog compressor because it doesn't have an inline moisture or oil trap and I worry about contaminating the DuraCoat.

Is this a realistic concern or am I over-thinking it? I am going to call LCW on Monday but thought I'd see what folks here thought.
 
Get an inline desiccant filter for $8 at Lowes/Home Depot and mount a $6 oil water separator upstream of it. I have used this setup for field work with my plasma cutter for years and have never had an issue. For longer term use I bought a refrigerant drier for a central AC unit and soldered on 1/4" male pipe fittings. I chuck this in the oven overnight on the lowest setting to purge any moisture.
 
I use a line filter on my compessor with a finish sprayer with no issues. I also drain the tank after each use.
