    Dear DMcD

    Please specify the type of paint used and if the flagstones are treated or not.

    The spray paint was Rustoleum (I was repainting a security door) and the flagtone is untreated.

    Thank you!

    Assuming it was oil based, you'll need to remove it with some mineral sprits, a hard bristled brush and some elbow grease.

    Lacquer thinner should dissolve the paint but some solvents may drive the pigment deep into the stone. You might want to do a small test with any solvent first. Have you tryied a pwer washer yet/ Some paints nearly dry as they float down to the fllor and don't have th stickinh power as you might imagine. Stone is a bit dusty and the power washer may blast this overspray right off.
