Dryers are all good, but not absolutely necessary for paint spraying. Moisture traps are necessary to keep entrained water out of the air being used. I've sprayed many cars and have not had any problems until the moisture trap failed. Refrigerant and Desiccant dryers are mainly used in industrial apps where freezing amb temperatures are encountered.
