Coincidentally, one of my post popular posts on Vintage Revivals is how to paint concrete. I guess it’s about time we talk about how to remove paint from concrete!
This info will work whether you are trying to remove spray paint, floor paint, wall paint, carpet glue, really anything!!

Things like paint, adhesives, oils, etc. will significantly cripple your tile job. While the thinset might have no problem sticking to the paint, the layer of paint may come loose from the concrete and womp womp, goodbye thinset strength.
