Gentle bit of Angle Grinder with the wire brush disc?

It was painted white before, it is the colour of the concrete that is white. Brand new concrete too.

Oddly enough when there was an accident involving a tin of green paint and a wheelie bin that resulted in a green splode all over the road Doncaster council sent someone round to paint over the green paint with black paint to match the tarmac!

It might disintegrate the surface
