High pressure alone should clean it ok but if not then add high heat to it as well. Sometimes I would

use a spiked roller to penetrate the surface of the paint and then it should fly off. What are you using

to clean it with now? Hot or cold and at what pressure? Best, Dave.

If you are using 250 bar, isnt that around the 3500 psi mark? I didnt know there was such a machine.

If that is the case you should be able to clean just about anything. At the moment I am using 1200 psi,

 very hot and clean most everything even if it takes me a little longer. Again try to break the surface of

the paint and you should be ok. At 3500 psi you will I am sure take off the top layer of the brick so the

paint should just vainsh along with it. Best, Dave.

A little Nitromors brushed in and left for 20 minutes will shift it.
