How do you remove blue paint from limestone bricks on the exterior of a house please?
We are removing An old water feature on either side of our front door and don’t know how to remove the blue paint effectively without damaging the lime stone.
Hello @Alexanderand
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your questions about removing paint from limestone.
Limestone has a porous surface and when paint is placed over it, the paint gets absorbed into its pores making it extremely difficult to remove. You can try to remove your paint with paint stripper or a steel rotary brush, but it will not leave your wall undamaged. You can also try to sand it down and reduce the amount of paint on the wall. Once you've sanded down as much as you can then repaint that section of the wall.
Let me call on our experienced member s @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when working on your project
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
