How to Remove Paint from Bricks (Powerwash)

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This is probably the most straightforward/mess free way. I've also tried removing paint from bricks by using a metal wire brush, and although that also technically works, it can alter the look of the brick, and sends metal wires flying everywhere which will stab you in the foot which I find untenable. Do wear eye goggles, you don't want neither brick particulates, nor chemicals flying back in your eyes.

kudos for comparing with other methods such as wire brush.
OMGosh! Who knew? Dude! You're like the awesome big brother I never had! You're just full of awesome, helpful info! Thank you!
Please continue to make videos in one form or another
Thank you 🙏
Thank you !
🤔 not sure how the bushes, soil and anything else is going to like watered down paint thinner in it
Me either tbh. I hope they didn't mind.
@@Bootstrappinit's a roll of the dice I guess depending on how hardy the plants are and how diluted it gets from pressure washing. If there's no harm no foul right 😂
Thanks sounds like a plan
Got black gloss black oil based paint on the red brick. Not sure what to try to removed this paint that really dried on? Any ideas? Thanks
I think paint removers are generally compatible with oil based paints. Try getting a gel type of paint remover and use a brush to really get it in the brick and let it sit & dissolve, then hit it with a pressure wash.
Would this do large areas?
Define large... It's probably among the faster methods, so it's all a matter of elbow grease. It may decrease the amount effort to add a sandblasting attachment off Amazon to the pressure washer, but I've had mixed results (namely, it creates a mess on the ground, and you need very fine and dry sand for it not to clog).
@@Bootstrappin the brick outside my front door under the eve. I should've done it when I first moved in before I started updating but here I am. Any suggestions from you pros? What's the best chemical?
Thanks
@@shaffey01 ah I'm no pro, just a DIYer. The gel paint remover I used in my video worked decently (Klean Strip) - brush the stuff on, let it sit 15 minutes, wear generous eye protection, blast it off. If the paint is really thick, it may take several attempts.
@@Bootstrappin good stuff! Thanks for the reply and video!
In looking to buy a home a freshly painted basement is a red flag that there is something very wrong with that basement.
Ironically, just finished editing a video in which I used waterproofing paint on a suspicious spot.
I tried it, it did not work for me
Do you know what kind of stains they are? That could help determine what kind of cleaning solution you might need.
Water based paint
Goof off pro strength might help better here depending on the severity, probably has to sit longer before power washing. This thread is pretty helpful: www.reddit.com/r/Home/comments/14cmvkm/is_there_a_good_way_to_strip_paint_off_brick/#:~:text=Media%20blasting%20like%20soda%20or,porous%20the%20brick%20surface%20is.
@@Bootstrappin thanks mate
Well wondering what pressure washer have you got. One is the video pretty powerful.. You may also try connecting to hot water from your comb boiler, heat should help
damn you just know a landlord did that paint themselves. even the reefer-toking, 6-beers-at-lunch painters i've met do a better job 🤣
Lol it's all good until Uncle Pulltab shows up to help you "spruce up the place".
