what air compressor drying system?
 
This may be a little off topic but I dont think so because its mechanical and should involve a lot of us. To protect your air tools from moisture or especially those that paint, what drying system do you use. The ones from Eastwood are 3-400 bucks and thats a lot for the hobbyist. Hoping there is something else out there.

I am actually using the Eastwood dryer set-up at home and bought it when it was on sale earlier this year.

if you get the multi-stage system with water traps, dessicant and toilet-paper type filters (what I have), my advice is to leave the TP filter empty until you actually paint something. Leaving the filter, TP or made-for-the-filter rolls, have always lead to severe corrosion inside the cylinder, to the point I've thrown two of them away...
