There is NO easy way to remove paint from cinder blocks. All those nooks and crannies make it really impossible. So really, short of a lot of sand blasting, it ain't gonna happen. Even if you could soften the old paint, you can't scrape it.





Still, a really good sealer will do the job on top of the old paint, since it bonds so well. Try Zinsser Watertite. It's a great product line.
