I'm thinking that a compressed air driven needle gun is the way to go
but not sure how vicious (or not) such a device is. The substrate is
stone and the pointing may well need looking at and chasing out in
places before repainting.

So is the needle gun a good idea or is there something better out
there?

Hi Dave,
Don't know if you'll pick this up. This is spooky. With a name like that you could be same Dave Liquorice who came to fix my organ in Devon in 2014? If you are, Hi.
Anyway, I hope you succeeded with your masonry paint! Just for the record, I had a similar problem and used an electric needle gun I hired from Speedy tool hire. It worked well, but was slow and hard work.

Cheers
John
