Hi there, I'm trying to paint the outside of my house and I've got to remove this old masonry paint. I've been scrubbing with a wire brush and scraping for hours and I've barely covered 10% of the bricks, and even then its just the outermost flakiest layers I've removed. Any tips how to get this off more practically? Thanks in advance, Alex
