Stripping paint off concrete. (Page 1/1) James Bond 007 AUG 11, 06:17 PM Any suggestions for stripping paint off concrete? Strip Disks and Flap Disks seem like Thye'd scratch the concrete. Paint stripper is expensive, but will buy, if I have to. Is there a specific brand? Some have very poor reviews. anything you know of that works?

The one used here is a rather powerful unit, but there are no doubt YouTube videos of less powerful pressure washers being used to remove paint from concrete.

I forgot to mention its the sidewalk leading to the house (about 12 feet in length), the paint is very, very old, so I have no Idea, what type of paint it is. Defiantly not spray paint.
