HI, newbe here after some advice.

I am working for a client and ive managed to get a small amount of scraped masonary paint on a small part of the indian stone patio area (from scraping off using wickes paint stripper, a small piece of the scraped paint was embedded in the sole of my boots) anyway the stone now has a few small patches where ive walked before I realised, ive tried a scrubbing brush and blasted it with the lance of a domestic power washer, all to no avail, what can you guys recommend to remove it, e.g. fluids etc etc
some of the stone is sealed some not, any advice and info apprecirated

Heat is the safest way to remove paint as in a hot pressure washer.

thanks for the reply
would you recommend using a spray lance or rotary attachment. and straight on or using some sort of chemical or cleaner first?

You shouldn't need any chemicals with heat on paint.
Masonary paint can be a pain to remove but run the machine as hot as possible.
If you don't have access to a hot washer and you want to go the chemical route, try Chemicals Ltd, something like a graffiti remover.
Or let me know where abouts in the UK you are and I might be able to give you details of someone with a hot machine in your area.
