Firstly, you need to spot test the reaction of the brick to the chemical, for this a paint brush is used with the help of which the masonry paint stripper is applied to a small part of the end of the wall. The stripper needs to be specific and precise to the brick instead of concrete. If the spot test gives you the negative and adverse response, for instance the crumbling of the brick. Then, you need to use additional compound that helps you to protect the wall of brick from harm and damage.

You need to put on the work gloves, face mask and the safety goggles that help you to avoid your contact with the fumes and the chemicals of stripper. A small container or the bucket is taken and a small amount of masonry paint stripper is poured down in it and original container is resealed. Then, the stepladder is positioned at one of the wall’s corners and climb up carefully.

A brush is used and the masonry paint stripper is brushed generously on the whole wall of the brick. You need to begin from one corner and you need to work from downward and outward. The stepladder is then repositioned in order to work on the wall’s top, then, go to the next segment till the whole brick is covered and concealed in the stripper.

Now, wait according to the time that is specified and defined by the creator. Now, again start from the wall’s top and a stiff-bristled brush is taken and masonry paint stripper is scrubbed off. Paint is going to come off in flakes and chunks. The complete wall is scrubbed with the help of the brush and removes the paint as much as you can.

Warm water and the rags are used in order to wash the wall of the brick and this is to eradicate the stripping compound plus the clinging paint. Now, let it to air dry.

An additional coating of masonry paint stripper is applied in order to eradicate the stubborn paint. Permit it to stay there on the brick plus you need to scrub it once more. This step is repeated for a number of times in order to remove the paint off the brick wall as much as you can.
