The previous owners here (& we've been here 11 years!) put mock shutters at the front windows. When we took them down they left a ghost as the painter had not been that acurate. Now that we are readying the house for sale I'd like to clean this mess off the bricks. Please does anyone know how this can be done?

Nitromors and a wire brush should do it. Or maybe just a wire brush wheel in a power drill.
