Hi Everyone

Does anyone know how to or what I can use to take paint off of brick outside off?
The goofs that painted the out side door fames got paint on my bricks and I need to get it off.

I've used this to get latex paint off of glass and it worked really well......it won't hurt the brick, so you might want to give it a try:

Windex - just spray it on liberally, wait just a few seconds for it to soak in, then scrape (maybe with a razor or a butter knife) off the latex paint.

It kind of makes the paint rubbery for a few minutes and makes it pliable enough to get it off.

Worth a shot .

*the only thing I would not do is anything harsh or abrasive - I would not use a pressure washer, a sandblaster, etc.

Sandpaper, just be careful not to cause severe damage

Try some acetone. Use carefully as it is flammable.
