Installing filter for painting

Can I install a filter on say the end of a 25' or 50' air hose, then run a hose from the filter to the paint gun? I don't want to install pipe, just thought maybe a hose would work. Thanks.

Assuming we're talking about a water filter, yes. Just make sure it stays right side up. Be sure you have a pressure gage at the gun though, because what you read at the compressor is not what you'll have at the gun. And be sure you check the pressure at the gun while spraying (air).

BTW- They make mini filters that attach at the air inlet.

Thanks Matt. I will have to look into the mini-filter, that looks like it would be alot easier to use.
