Things You'll Need:
- Scrapers, power washer sand blaster or masonry stripper.
-
Step 1
Power washing a surface with a zero rotating tip will some times take all your paint right off the brick, stone, or concrete with little effort. This may not work with a home power washer. Use a commercial grade power washer with a psi of at least 4,000. I can not express enough caution, these zero rotating tips will cut through just about everything, so be sure to have it pointed at the stone or concrete at all times.

Step 2
Masonry strippers are an option. If you use this option protect your self with goggles gloves and a body suit. All strippers work the same pretty much. Spray on a coat with a spritz bottle, wait 20 minutes and spray on another coat. Scrape and scrub your surface to remove boiled paint.

Step 3
Sand Blasting is your only other resort. You can rent a sand blaster at Home Depot or Lowe's. I recommend trying the fist two steps first. Chances are If the first two steps don't work for you this will. But sandblasting is limited. I would not recommend this for an inside project.
