Can i spray epoxy?

[Kaizen]

Have to paint my stem wall. Only one foot tall x 100ft but has a lot of divots and such. Can i use a harbor freight hvlp gun to spray floor epoxy?
Don't need it perfect but trying to get in all the nooks and crannies is a pita.
Or easier to patch them and just roll it on?

It's easier to just color match your epoxy color with an acrylic latex concrete paint and then spray them with that. You won't be walking or driving on your stem walls, so there is no worry about wear or peeling

Don’t think I’ve used a latex on concrete before. Can the same thing be used on plywood?

Shea is correct, we often recommend coating stem walls and vertical surfaces with a color matched latex or acrylic coating.

Hint..while you are coating your floor put some epoxy on a piece of cardboard and bring it in to have it color matched. Vertical surfaces get no traffic and don’t need epoxy.

I have personally sprayed HellFire, after thinning approx 10% with Xylene.
Actually worked really well and I used the Harbor Freight HVLP Gun to do it!

I might add that if you're planning on anything less than a full rejection distribution, applying DecoFlake to vertical surfaces can be a challenge to get right for the uninitiated ... Like others have already stated, paint with a quality, color matched masonry paint afterwards.

Not going to flake the wall or stem wall. got the paint today. went to a few places and tough to get my color matched. Its a really dark blue and the machines kept freaking out trying to figure the mix. I got one to try on it tonight. Going to go up one sheet of plywood and stem wall with blue and then rest with white. Going to roll it and see how it comes out. have to kiltz the plywood so the knots don't bleed through on the white.
