My driveway has some no-longer-needed marker lines applied a
few years ago, using masking tape and ordinary spray paint
from a can. What suggestions do you have for removing the
paint now?

Thanks.

Some of that graffiti-off stuff school janitors use, and/or a power washer.
Any janitorial supply should carry it- usually citrus-based. It depends on
the paint used and how the driveway was finished. Concrete or asphalt? If
asphalt, just rough it up with scotchbrite pad, and sealcoat the area. How
many years ago is 'a few'? In my experience, ordinary spray paint is usually
gone within a year, just from weather.

Concrete.

Less than 3, more than 2.

You probably have more "exciting" weather than I do in
Southern California. :-)

Thanks.

Any of the available paint removers will work on concrete.

I'd try some lacquer thinner and a wire brush, then a good shot of Greased
lightening and a scrub brush.
Might work, might not.
