What would be the best method to get white emulsion off rough split

Thinking of a steam cleaner to soften the paint but how to remove the
softened paint totally from the gain of the stone? Indoors, so
sloshing lots of water about isn't on.

Mechanical with a needle gun?

Any other ideas?

Needle gun yes, if you want to obliterate the sandstone completely. I'd start with lots of soaking to soften the paint, preferably with a dot of detergent, then a scrubbing brush to remove what it can.

Much sandstone round by you?
