Yes, I run a CamAIR QC3, that's what I do. the CamAIR is identical to the Finishline but has a larger desicant filter. The desiccant filter does a great job of removing moisture BUT does not last long. If you run air tools through this filter it will need replaced way too often. If you just run your paint gun through it, you can easily paint the entire vehicle on one filter. My filter goes bad from absorbing moisture over long periods of me not using it. I guess you could remove it & bag it, might last longer. I just buy a new filter when I paint a vehicle - cheap insurance.

The filter system you linked is not as good as the FinishLine. It will not remove moisture as well & I don't think it will flow as much air as the FinishLine filter.
