Thanks. I have been using a scraper with a carbide blade! Then follow up with the grinder with a flappy 36 grit. Have to decide what paint to use. It is a lanai (porch and pool deck) in Florida . Needs noskid too.

Moisting the floor to keep the disc cool makes the job go faster, as long as you don`t clog the vac ;)
Ouch that's going to take awhile. Why not just rent a floor maintainer with a diamond wheel by the time you finish it this way it might be your birthday.
🦘🦘🦘🦘 ... I found this GREAT IDEA on another site & want to share it if anyone has this same problem & how to fix it. I had a terracotta pot with a wonderful indented fancy pattern etched into it when it was made, around the top & bottom sections of the sides of the pot. It had been well painted with thick black paint then sprayed over with a tough shiny, hard, silver paint over the black, but ONLY on one side of the pot!! I wanted to strip the paint to return it to pure terracotta again & fully preserve the pattern. ................ I read that full strength 🌿🦘EUCALYPTUS OIL🦘🌿 dissolves paint. I found a 50ml bottle in my cupboard & used an old toothbrush to brush in & massage into the paint: small amounts of pure Euc oil. I let it work into the paint, scrubbing it in. Soon the top silver layer dissolved away so I dripped on more oil & used old tooth brush to scrub into the black paint within the intricate etched pattern. Soon the black paint turned to tar like substance as it softened & mixed with Euc oil. I used a small wire brush & a few squirts of WD40 to scrub away the softened tar like thick black paint. WD40 will not work by itself on paint, only use to remove the tar like paint after Euc oil works. It does not take a lot of Euc Oil, use sparingly drop by drop. Clean brushes of build up if needed, with turpentine or WD40 & rub with old rag. Worked well. Used an angle grinder scrub pad on large smooth portion of pot. Wiped it with a good smear of Euc oil & left to soften, then used angle grinder with pad & it came off in one buzz. Cheers.
I just want to say that you should really really think twice about doing this. I used this method with a grinder and diamond wheel for my entire garage, to cut costs. I was careful, but the finished floor did not come out evenly. There are high in low spots, and deep swirl marks all over. This was only visible after I put a fresh coat of stain on. It's unavoidable, it will not come out evenly because the grinder does not have enough stability and you cannot guarantee even pressure along the way. So no, in my opinion, DON'T DO IT unless you want to be disappointed and waste lots of time and money. Rent the grinder machine with the diamond wheel, that will remove the paint and give you a nicer even and smooth finish. This grinder wheel method is a hack job, should only be used for smaller jobs.
Ok , so you recommend renting the big floor grinder at home depot with the diamond wheel? I just invested $120 for a grinder and another $200 for discs and shrouds, knee pads etc. I have an 11x15 area that has 4 layers of paint peeling on the outside patio.
thank you, it will be extremely useful if you show how did you do the set up.... what kind of dust attachment did you use? the vacuum and its setting did you remove the filter in the vacuum? also the oldness of the paint you removed. and the thickness of it? and do a close up of the floor once done what kind of disk grinder were you using? you are removing a large surface but what about a strip of paint like those on stairs? and was the floor polished? THANK YOU
I think most of your questions are answered in the annotations sprinkled throughout the video. It's a regular shop vacuum with the filter installed. However, I recommend renting a HEPA vacuum that is rated for concrete dust from either Home Depot or a tool rental company. The floor had two fairly thick layers of years old floor paint. In places that are too tight to reach with the grinder, options include hand scraping, an oscillating multi-tool with a carbide grit grout blade or sacrificed regular blade, or paint remover. It is a Hitachi 4-1/2 inch angle grinder.
You are welcome! Not sure where your other question ended up on here, but to address it: It's a 4-1/2 inch Hitachi angle grinder. Any 4-1/2" angle grinder should work, but some models fit the dust collection shroud better than others. The dust collection shroud is a "5 inch expert surface grinding dust shroud for Angle Grinder Dt1701-125". Read the reviews for it on Amazon to gain more insight into which angle grinders fit it best. I recommend renting a concrete dust vacuum from the orange big box store instead of making do with a shop vac. The diamond wheel is a DeWalt DW4774. When you first start, it may seem impossible, however keep it moving with very gentle pressure and the paint will start to flake off as it softens from the heat and abrasion. Good luck!

best way ive seen so far on that kind of paint removal

Wouldn’t renting large floor sander be quicker? Also vibration damage that tool will do to your hands etc for using it for long periods of time.
Did this too my basement Harbor freight got everything you need thank me later 🤟🏾
What did you use from Harbor freight ?

I'm wondering if this would work removing old epoxy Pool paint...It has been painted before and I believe they just painted over the old pool paint.
40 grit flappy would work super fast.
Do you even need a vacuum when doing outdoors on porch step in front of front door?
When painted were there visible marks/lines still from the grinding?
you can smooth it out after with polisher
Thank you so much
Im assuming this would take forever on a big basement floor?

Thanks a bunch for making the video😘🍻 How long did it take to do that space??
I think it was 2-3 hours. It wasn't bad.
I know I'm in for a lot of work!
Very nice! Can I hire you to do the same to my patio? 😉👍
I'm retired ;-)

How smooth was the finished floor? I'm going to be doing this exact project in preparation for epoxy.
Smooth and ready for paint.
