Paint on brick

[gfrazier 14]

I am a newbie looking for knowledge. How do you get paint off brick. The problem is an older brick house with wood trim. Whenever it was painted last some years ago the painter got paint along side the trim and the gutters plus numerous spills and drops all over everywhere from the roller/brushes. Can someone help a rookie??

Eachochem has a stripper cream and will send you a good sized sample for $56. Pleasant odor, brush or roller application, use on masonary and wood (need to neutralize on wood). I have only done a sample spot, but plan on using to strip a brick front on a house and the bottom level of a 2 family that has clap board and layers of paint. Test spot when through about 5 layers I am guessing on the clap board.

By the way that $56 gets you all their stripping products, it's a kit....try the Safe Restore also.

The stipper cream will work just fine. The SafeRestore is a great product for restoring brick,remove rust without the bleach affect, but it want strip paint.
