Is there a way to remove latex paint from brick?

Need to remove latex paint that was sprayed, from bricks without damaging the actual brick.Is there a way to remove latex paint from brick?
If it's a small area, there is a product called ';Oops'; that removes dried latex paint from other surfaces. If it is the whole patio, harsher methods such as pessure water treating might be needed. You can also use a chemical paint remover, but that takes lots of time and on-your-knees hand-work. If it's a really large area and the bricks are not held together with mortar, consider turning them over. In any case, this will be a big job.Is there a way to remove latex paint from brick?
Try scrubbing it with a wire brush, if that doesn't work you may want to try sandblasting it.
Don't sand blast it destroys the brick Try chemical stripping. Many are now citrus based and do an excellent job.
