I love it when it is latex because it can be peeled off. Oil is another matter, it will wear off over time but if it doesn't use mineral spirits or another paint remover and scrap or brush it off.
If it is latex paint, there are products like "Goof Off" that will remove most of it. It may take several applications. If it is oil based, you can scrapes off most, then use a wire brush on the remaining. You ccan try high pressure washer, but my luck with those has been limited.
Water or oil based? Water based should wash off, unless it's been left to bake in sun. Try mixing dawn dish detergent, warm water, and use a scrub brush. Oil paints can be difficult to remove, because solvent may damage concrete.
I have removed dried paint with a pressure washer.
I have worked with oil based and lead paint for years and what will get it off of anything included fabric days later is goop hand cleaner from automotive and in your case the gritty orange and a wire brush should do the job. For cloth and other material i recommend the smooth colorless.
Hi Arlene, undiluted Murphy's oil soap usually works. Put some on and let it soak a while. It will come right off and it's safe for plants too.
