Gable vents ''chalking'' brick exterior
Any ideas on how to remove paint chalking from exterior brick ?
Customer has 3 round gable vents and the white paint has bled ,
but they are in the front of the house and there's no inconspicuous
place to test chems. cleaners etc. Powerwashed at 3500 PSI and
it didn't budge . thanks in advance

Varsol? but that may just smudge it
Brass will turn the brick "brassy"
I've only done it once, and it was on old soft brick. The brass is softer than the brick (which is why i chose to use it) and rubbed off on the brick. When i tried to remove the brassy finish I couldn't get it off, not with a pressure washer (set pretty low), not with any cleaners.
Maybe on a modern harder brick the brass wouldn't "grab" the brick in the same way. I don't know, i just won't try again.
