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.

I removed some white paint from concrete with my quite powerful pressure
jet washer.
