  • I've got a small angle grinder, would a wire brush cup work or is that asking for trouble? (and no, I don't know why the fluro yellow paint is there).

    Wire brush cup would strip the mortar between the bricks faster than you can say "oh shit".

    If you don't mind the time some Paint Panther and a stiff bristle brush might net you some results.

  • I see. How one with nylon bristles? Or those 'poly abrasive' discs?

    I will spend the time down there if I have to, but have a long list of stuff that also needs work (like pulling down that ceiling and finishing insulating under the floor).

    Best I can offer you is try everything available - grab some cheap rotary brushes and test test test!

    You could also try a brass brush and a heat gun, might blister it enough to make it easier to remove.
