Removing paint off bricks

[Vincey]

After buying a fake product off eBay have eventually ordered again direct from karcher this time blasting kit to use with my jet wash , the amount of jobs I get where I need to remove paint from stone , bricks and renders thought it’s worth a punt to find out if it’s any good or not , there’s a few videos on YouTube but really mixed reviews on the kit so will try do a half decent video later this week to show what it can or can’t do either way but here is one of there own videos not sure if mines the same kit yet.

I was jet washing the back of a house just today using karcher k7 and dirt blaster nozzle he took 90% of the paint off but some jobs it won't touch, I'm always coming up against the same problem with paint if there any good I'll have one

Just a blank screen can hear sound but no video probably for the best

Just use a high polymer render to scratch over the paint that doesn't come off problem solved

Evening guy's first post for me '' Not sure if you have already tried but i used to use a scabbling / needle gun for getting the paint off walls also taking internals back to brick. Needs to be hooked up to a compressor and lightly used to start with as can be brutal if to much pressure applied' Cheer's

 

[Rossi46]

Serious question. How much would you pay to have the paint removed? Peace of mind knowing you’re straight on to the substrate.

I just got a job £370 to remove this as part of a mono application to that wall and the rest of the front of the house

 

[Rossi46]

With the right kit that could be done in half an hour. Got me thinking

We use a needle gun for removing loose paint /pointing from stone before re rendering with lime..does depend on type of paint and how well it's stuck
Main problem is when the brick or stone has been painted with masonry paint but is well adhered....there are chemicals to soften the paint and then you use a jet wash to remove..
Or even better a super hot jet wash ( thermatech) Which can be hired

There are better less messy ways of removing paint

 

[Gavine The First]

Shot blast imo. No idea what it would cost though .

It works but it's a Messy job ...and can be too harsh on soft brick /stone

Thats interesting, easy but specialist ! The hardest bit would be finding the customers ! You would need a good website . Great money though !

Two man job, imo.

What sand do you use ?

 

[Dansouthcoast84]

there are different grades of sand for how course you want to blast... i.e fine for soft woods cleaning brick and stone and course sand for stubborn thick coatings etc

Used a ibis sand blaster for a job does the job easy enough but you have to get correct sand also kept clogging up with moisture . Also you have to have a massive generator for it.

When moisture builds up inside the cap blows of which then stops machine. The sand was really hard to get hold of ! Blasting companies would not tell you where they buy the sand from.
