anyone know a good way to remove paint from interlocking driveway bricks.

got some paint spilled and I'm not sure of the best way to remove it without any staining or discolouration.

varsol?
 
Depends On What The Paint Was...
If It Was An Oil Base Paint...be Gentle With That Varsol
If It Was Water Based...grab The Pressure Washer And Rag...maybe?

Sucks For You!
 
power washer
 
The whole point of that surface is you can remove and replace the bricks. Pull out the stained ones, turn 'em upside down and replace. Getting the first out will be tough, but the others won't. You need to be demanding about fit and the flatness of the base if you want them to go back nicely.

One problem with this is that they are not chamfered (sp?) on both sides
 
thanks for the reply's .

can't flip them over in this case. I thought about it , but they're not going to work that way.

I'm going with the bear's idea. i'll just paint the rest the same colour.lol.
I think it'll look good , I'll be the only one on the block with a white driveway.

but maybe I'll try the powerwasher first.

BTW

fred should rename this site , terbacc(toronto escort review board and comedy club) , as everyone seems to be a comedian here.
seriously, I do get a good laugh every time I log in.
 
You can't flip them over as they are designed with a bottom and top.

If powerwashing doesn't work, you can always take one of the pavers to a local garden supply or landscape supply store(I know in Burlington there's Cap Brick) to match the paver style and colour.

If the pavers are not too old you can probably pick up new ones (cheap) and replace them in your driveway. It's not that difficult to do.

Looking, your to late he took my suggestion to paint the entire driveway in white paint. Bears rule.
