I have gloss paint on my block paved drive. Is there any way it can be removed without damaging the bricks?l have tried a power jet wash and tried turps but
this made no difference!
Try using paint stripper. Just brush it on and leave for a
while.Then scrape off.
Try Nitromors also you could try muric acid - from builder is
merchants - but I'd try it somewhere hidden first to check it doesn't
destroy the brick too!
I would have a go at turning teh paving stones over and
relaying them. never use a power washer or steamer on block paving It Will
remove the sand between the stones (bricks) and make the driveway uneven
you may? like to try a paint stripper and wire brush but it would take so
much its cheaper and quicker to get stuck in and relay the drive. good
luck.
try a pumice stone you know the one to rub away hard skin on
you heels, when I was an apprentice painter I slipped on a ladder spilling
a pot of paint onto a sandstone wall and a pumice stone was used to clean
the paint off without damaging the sandstone too much, you block paving is
much harder than sandstone so have a go, The stone can be purchased from a
chemist shop. Good luck I hope it works for you.
I had the same problem many years ago and I tried everything,
what I ended up doing took me almost a year to do, I turned the bricks
over and it worked for me, it looked great. It was a pain in the rear to
do, and I thought once I started it, that I should have my head examined,
but like I say, it worked for me. Once you get one block up it goes pretty
easy, hope I have helped you. My driveway was 25ft wide and 75ft long.
Anyone who paints bricks should be shot. Good luck.
A steam cleaner should get that of no probs , then tidy the
bricks with acid brick cleaner , just brush it on wait a few minutes then
steam clean it of again they will look like new .
PS don't just leave the acid on it will eat into the bricks !
Very unlikely there will be NO damage. Best bet is to dab on
paint stripper (be careful - it burns skin!), leave for ten minutes and
scrub off with water and WU liquid. Repeat if necessary.
I would use a pressure washer to try to remove the paint. If
you don't have a pressure washer you can rent one at any of your local
home improvment stores, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
