Default Paint spilt on slate roof tiles

I have just finished painting my "pebble dashed" house (never again) and I have dripped quite a lot of masonary paint on the slate roof tiles of the bay windows (despite covering them first, it was windy). Having a nightmare getting it off the tiles using wire wool and white spirit/ detergents - anyone got any handy hints?
Many thanks!

Let it dry and then use stripper.
