Re: How to remove paint from bricks and pavers?

Hello @fastgreg 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about removing paint splatter from bricks. One possible way to remove paint splatter without using chemicals is with a heat gun. It may be slow going but your bricks will remain safe from chemical bleaching. 

 

Another method is to use a chemical paint stripper such as Poly 1L Polystrippa Paint Stripper. However, please be aware that there is the possibility that it might damage your bricks colour and finish. 

 

One more way is to use a power washer. Since you have a Gerni branded washer, I suggest looking at adding a Gerni Classic Patio Cleaner it increases the effectivity of the power washer head. 

 

Please make sure to get the model number of your power washer and ask the tool specialist in the shop if it is compatible with your unit.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
