    Hi there, well I'm really glad your husband is ok and I'm real sorry about that paint spill! The problem with pavers is that they're concrete and concrete ABSORBS.

    My first try would be to pull them up and take them to a self car wash and hit them with the highest rinse setting that was available. If that doesn't work you could consider renting a power washer as it will probably have a little more OOMPH than the car wash.

    There are some concrete "washes/acids" available that are pretty darned toxic but may work in this case.

    Pavers can be pulled up and turned over. You might consider that.
