Test Pressure and Nozzle on an Inconspicuous Area

What happens here

Before tackling the main wall, perform a test on an inconspicuous section of the brick, such as a hidden corner or a lower part of the wall that will be covered. Start with a fan-spray nozzle (like a 25-degree or 40-degree tip) and hold the wand at least 12-18 inches away from the surface. Gradually decrease the distance or switch to a narrower nozzle (e.g., 15-degree yellow tip) if needed, observing how effectively the paint is removed without damaging the brick or mortar. The goal is to find the lowest effective pressure and widest spray pattern that removes the paint.

Goal: Determine optimal pressure and nozzle setting without damaging the brick
