What type of paint?

[niftysteve]

you can have painted brickwork chemically stripped much better than sand blasting as the brick face isnt damaged

[tim Ber]

nitromorse will remove most paints

You can get a grit attachment for pressure washers. The DIY ones are a bit pants for big jobs but for a small area they will do just fine.

caustic soda will do most paints but wear ppe(and i dont mean chainsaw)dont sandblast as will take the face off the brick

Abrasive wheel on a big power drill if none of the above work.

 

We did some cleaning up on a farm a few years ago and managed to get hold of a drain cleaning jetter, I.e. like jet rod or similar use, it was the mutts bits and even managed to take the metal paint off the wheels on a case 685. I reckon one of those would have your wall clean in a pretty short period!
