Question:

I am trying to remove white paint from the bricks on my house. I have tried a biodegradable paint remover that you apply and wash off as per your suggestion, but it would not fully remove the paint. I have found that with a steamer the paint will scrape off with a bit of scraping, but it is very slow. 20-90 secs per brick and then another minute to remove the paint from the cement surrounding the brick. Any other suggestions on a better way to remove the paint. The brick is a nice light grey colour under the paint and looks much better without the paint.

Answer:

That's as good as it gets as far as I know with today's technology.
