I hired a painter to get rid of rust on some iron work in my garden.
Trouble is, he blew enamel paint spots all over the red-brick masonry because he was careless. I tried to clean up the mess using a razor blade, but the brick is stained none the less.
Is it possible to use a wet-sandpaper approach toward getting rid of the spots? What other ways are there?
Sandblast. Lots of fun.

Use paint remover, but why are you doing the work.
I'll make a WAG that he paid the slob before he noticed the messy job.

Sandpaper may or may not help much. Brick is porous, and you might need to do a lot of sanding to get rid of the overspray. How bad is it? Try the following product. Around here, Sherwin-Williams carries it. It works wonders dissolving oil-based paints - much faster than mineral spirits even.
paging Mr. Webmaster. that might get the vote for worst example of click-and-order, ever.
Um, did you hire this 'painter' from the Home Depot parking lot? Make him clean the bricks.
The more booze I gave him, the faster he worked. He did the job for cheap.
Well cheap got you overspray all over.
Who the hell are you to say something like that?
Please tell me you have nothing to do with website.
I had to go look... God that's AWFUL!
I have nothing to do with that website or the marketing of that product. I'm just a guy who swears by that product. I've recommended it several times in a couple of different newsgroups to people who need to remove oil-based paint. It's what I use. Try using it instead of mineral spirits to clean your hands next time you paint with oil.
I wanted to try it too~!
But someone who failed junior high math was responsible for constructing that website.
You'd know if, instead of walking to the paint store, tried to sit in a wheel chair and order on-line.
And, I have really, really bad breath!
