How can you remove oil paint stains from exterior home masonry?

I asked that before. People answered saying ';wire brush';, ';paint remover'; and ';nail polish remover';. I tried all three, none worked.


One person said sandblaster and high pressure washer but that would put grooves in the stone and was not appropriate.

Masonry is normally cleaned with a 10% muratic acid solution. Check the link for instructions.How can you remove oil paint stains from exterior home masonry?
paint stripper and a wire brush thats it thats all
paint over it, the same colour as the masonry. I did this with a marble fileplace and you can't see the join.





Ok, it is a bodge but an effective one!
A 3500 PSI pressure washer will remove it and it won't leave grooves in masonary surfaces other than sand stone. If it's a regular limestone type stone, it would take 10,000 PSI or more to leave grooves in it.
Call in a Soda Blaster it will not harm surface and paint will be gone. Guaranteed
