Need to repaint the outside of the house, the old masonary paint is flaking off, though some bits are still sound. Manually scraping or wire brushing two windowless, 8m wide, two storey gable ends and another 10m wall doesn't appeal...
I'm thinking that a compressed air driven needle gun is the way to go but not sure how vicious (or not) such a device is. The substrate is stone and the pointing may well need looking at and chasing out in places before repainting.
So is the needle gun a good idea or is there something better out there?
