Funny because I am wanting to paint some concrete right now but if it doesn’t work out I’ll know what to use to fix it. Maybe if I buy some before the project and get it up quickly that will help it work faster! Thanks for sharing 🌻

Oooo, most people are commenting to power wash of a paint stain. At the time, I didn’t have 1. Check some of the comments on this video b/c there were some great suggestions.

Thnx for the advice. I do have a follow up video to this one where I did switch to a more firm, steel type brush. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that in the first place. Geez!
Thanks for this. I had a similar problem about 5 years ago in my driveway and found something that worked really well... bad thing, I cannot remember what it was called HAHA I know I could only get it at one place locally (Ace hardware).
Thanks, I saw a video telling me to use fingernail polish remover but your idea is better. Acetone is fingernail polish remover but it is cheaper to buy acetone. Go figure...
I wonder if you ever got the paint off. I sprayed my gutters and they didn’t get enough time to dry , i had no idea it took 48 hrs for metal to dry, so i have a nice line of paint in the drive way. Also did your plant survive all those chemicals?
The paint came off nicely. 👍🏾I have a follow up video showing it all gone. Check it out! Remove Paint From Sidewalk th-cam.com/video/EOoRcrqTrAU/w-d-xo.html The plants had no negative effect. No problem with them at all. I think my flushing the area with water helped a lot with that. Thanks for your comment.

I would say, to make sure you use a really firm brush to scrub. I would not wait in between. I would just scrub and pour and then wash off with water over & over til gone and you should be good to go with that paint line.
What a great demo. That does indeed look like an easy way to remove paint from concrete! Did you already know about this method or did you have to try a few things to find this?
Thnx for watching Stephen! I really just went to Walmart and asked the gentleman in that section what he thought was best. He was an older guy, so I figured hey, he must know what he’s talking about! 🤷🏾♀️LOL but I’m gonna keep working on it to get it even cleaner.
I just let it naturally go away with the rain. It took a long time though (like a yr). But, I did not add any additional agents to rush the process. If you find something let me know because I know I’ll mess up again. Lol thanks for the comment.

@@HomeFix19 I tried acetone, paint solvent and dish soap and elbow grease to remove patio wood stain. Very little effect. Next i got my drill and attached a wire brush attachment to it and brushed away. It removed the stain for the most part, but in the process removed the top layer of my concrete too. That can be repaired, however. Never again will I ever paint without laying down a tarp first!!!

Luckily your paint spill wasn't a very different colour from the original. I think it looks fine, but if you do carry on please let us know the outcome
Acetone is very acidic which does damage to concrete by changing the ph.. if your going to use this make sure you rinse off the solution with baking soda mixed with water to neutralize the ph.
Thanks for this input. I rinsed with a steady stream of water for a couple minutes but will incorporate baking soda. Makes sense! Thnx for watching. Pls consider subscribing, if not already.
I painted my house with brushes and wish I'd been a bit more careful with covering my tiled deck and concrete steps. My second mistake - I left it for over a year. My first attempt was with a Karcher K4 water blaster. It did a pretty good job on thick blobs of paint, both on the tiles and on concrete. Basically, it worked where the spray lifted an edge of the blob so the whole blob came off. *Next* I used a household steam-gun on what remained. It softened the thicker paint and a paint-scraper did the rest. *Next next* A hot-air paint stripper gun allowsed me to scrape off more. I'm left with small areas of thin paint that have penetrated the surface of the tile/concrete. Pretty much the situation you have. *Next next next* I tried acetone but it evaporates *very* quickly. It's also expensive at around $NZ20 per litre. *Next next next next* Back to the tiles and I've tried scrubbing with a kitchen abrasive cleaner. Lots of scrubbing and it looks like your final result. I'm not defeated but removing paint that has been absorbed by a porous surface is not easy!
Wow! You have really been through it with that paint mishap. You have to check out my follow-up video to this stain. After rain & sun, etc~ it was cleared in about a 2 wk timeframe.

@@HomeFix19 Hi. Thanks for replying with that information. Unfortunately, I don't have any thinner on hand so will take a trip to the hardware store. They have stripper on their website, but not thinner. I'm in New Zealand. One day we'll get you onto metric 😉
my comment in one eord SAFETY,consider(1) gloves that will not disintegrate with acetone (2) protective glasses when washing with the hose and(3) acetone fumes A mask ,perhaps ?. Just things to consider before using acetone in large amts
You'll need to do it SEVERAL TIMES. Stains SOAK IN to the Concrete, and each time you Clean It, the Paint (or whatever) is Drawn Out more eack time. *Also, allow it to Soak In for Several Minutes, then Apply some more Acetone, and Scrub It. Leave it for a few minutes (apply more Acetone if it has dried), and then Hose Off ... .. *DO NOT Leave Unattended. Do this a few days later, and again a few days after that: Until you removeit all, or as much as you can. ps .. Use Circular Motions to Scrub It: This will work it into the surface better. Do Not use Back & Forth Strokes, because the Bristles of the Brush will Spring Back & Forth, and Splatter it everywhere.
I mean I guess it would work since Acetone removes nail polish, and that is paint. Looks like it took a whole bottle to get half of it removed. Hmmm. Yeah, did you try paint thinner for the rest?
My mistake here was not using a steel brush.😫The steel brush would have gotten this done faster. And going straight through the process without giving it wait time would have made it go quicker too.

🦘🦘🦘🦘 ... I found this GREAT IDEA on another site & want to share it if anyone has this same problem & how to fix it. I had a terracotta pot with a wonderful indented fancy pattern etched into it when it was made, around the top & bottom sections of the sides of the pot. It had been well painted with thick black paint then sprayed over with a tough shiny, hard, silver paint over the black, but ONLY on one side of the pot!! I wanted to strip the paint to return it to pure terracotta again & fully preserve the pattern. ................ I read that full strength 🌿🦘EUCALYPTUS OIL🦘🌿 dissolves paint. I found a 50ml bottle in my cupboard & used an old toothbrush to brush in & massage into the paint: small amounts of pure Euc oil. I let it work into the paint, scrubbing it in. Soon the top silver layer dissolved away so I dripped on more oil & used old tooth brush to scrub into the black paint within the intricate etched pattern. Soon the black paint turned to tar like substance as it softened & mixed with Euc oil. I used a small wire brush & a few squirts of WD40 to scrub away the softened tar like thick black paint. WD40 will not work by itself on paint, only use to remove the tar like paint after Euc oil works. It does not take a lot of Euc Oil, use sparingly drop by drop. Clean brushes of build up if needed, with turpentine or WD40 & rub with old rag. Worked well. Used an angle grinder scrub pad on large smooth portion of pot. Wiped it with a good smear of Euc oil & left to soften, then used angle grinder with pad & it came off in one buzz. Cheers.

Clean brushes of build up if needed, with turpentine or WD40 & rub with old rag. Worked well. Used an angle grinder scrub pad on large smooth portion of pot. Wiped it with a good smear of Euc oil & left to soften, then used angle grinder with pad & it came off in one buzz. Cheers.
