I wouldn't take on this job with experience.

As a newbie pass it up. There will be plenty other less complicated jobs down the road.

Just my thoughts.

I had a house wash this past summer with white alum siding that had leached down into the brick. I tried everything I could think of but it never would come out . I am glad that I had informed the customer about it before we started so that he did not expect too much with the brick. I would pass it up or try a sample spot for free before commiting to the job.
Just my 2 cents worth. Tim

were in the process of getting grafitti off a brick house,spray paint, the only thing that got it off good was bix paint-varnish heavy duty remover, we applyed with roller let sit 2 hrs, it worked on spray paint, should work on house paint but $ 22.00 gal, you would need atleast 20gal, i would think, but try a small area first see how long it takes,and go from there, but REMEMBER THIS WHAT ABOUT PAINT CHIPS, THIS STUFF IS GOING TO BE GOOEY,AND IS IT LEAD PAINT???
