Default getting external paint off (once) white bricks

Hi folks,

long time no lurk for me, but now the missus has given me a new
project to add to the big list of other projects we've got on the go -
remove some pretty poor khaki stroke taupe coloured paint (!) from the
bottom few courses of bricks on the front of the house.....

No idea why the previous owners thought this might be a good idea;
they also painted the underneath of the side bay window white, but
getting that off isn't as important as the front.

Since the house is built from those whitish bricks (york stone?) am I
going to damage things by using summat like nitromors or would I be
better off with a heat gun?

Any tips greatly appreciated, as always

cheers
