How to remove paint from brick?

I stuffed up. Was so committed to painting the brick, then I wasn't. This is a sample pot sprayed on. Tried pressure washing it off, didn't budge at all. What's the best way to get this off the brick? Thanks for your help.

Re: Remove Paint from Brick

There was a previous thread here on this issue with not much luck, some googling around it looks like Dulux may have a product worth investigating further:

Re: How to remove paint from brick?

Hi @mcandrew,

 

It's great to see @Bomber25 mention a product that looks entirely suitable for this project. You might like to start by trying a standard paint stripper. Due to the paint being sprayed into the brick's texture, it's going to be hard to remove and will likely take a few applications and some work with a wire brush.

 

Remember your PPE, including safety glasses, chemical gloves, a respirator, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, and enclosed footwear.

 

Please let us know how you go or if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
