    I would try a wire brush. Honestly I'd worry that any type of chemical solvent would stain the brick, so I'd try the scrape-off type methods first. And you'd likely want to re-seal it afterwards too. Good luck!

    Here's an article that might help, but as Jennifer said, remember, you're working with chemicals. This article recommends using chemical resistant rubber gloves and eye protection.

    I knocked over a whole new paint can and spent hours trying to sop it all up. I was so worn out I couldn't finish. I got a big bottle of vinegar and poured it straight on the floor the next day and left it. It actually seemed to get it out of the pores! I was able to get ALL the paint blobs up!
