Give your children a toothbrush each, some paint cleaner and a weekend in the great outdoors.

If it's just emulsion it won't last two minutes. Let it weather and scrub it off, or a pressure washer will lift it in no time.

water based or oil based?

Hi

Thanks for the replies, it is an oil based gloss paint.

Thanks

I would leave it at least a week.
It will then most probably just peel off in one piece.
Do NOT use any turps / thinners or anything else at all or you will end
up with a right mess ( or a bigger one !! )
