How to Remove Stubborn Paint from Concrete?

If you're unsure, the best choice is to use an oil-based paint stripper. After liberally coating the concrete with a paint stripper, leave it alone for six to eight hours. The paint will magically come off within that period due to a chemical reaction.

I'm on a mission to renew my concrete. I've pressure washed numerous types of paint (probably all latex of some sort) off of my old porous concrete using 3000 psi and 0 - 15 degree tips, but this one particular paint is very stubborn.


I think what I need is some sort of chemical to soften the paint. We can assume its latex. Any suggestions on chemicals or other methods to remove the paint?


Thanks
