Default Paint removal

I dropped a tin of paint this afternoon. Fortunately this occurred
outside. The paint is oil-based primer (red oxide). The surface is
some sort of concrete. How am I supposed to remove this?

1. B&Q suggest white spirit but I cannot see this working after the
paint has dried.

2. Steel brush attached to power drill?

3. Nitromors?

4. My favourite - flame thrower (as used for clearing weeds)?


Pressure washers are very good at getting things off surfaces, I haven't
had to try it on paint but it would be the first thing I'd try - once
the paint had fully dried. Anything chemical is likely to make a smudgy
mess.
