How do I remove paint stains from cement?

I was painting my kitchen chairs outside and put newspapers around so the paint wouldn't stain the cement but there are a few drops here and there. Is there something that can take it out?

I have found that using nail polish remover for Wood Fence small spot stains using a bit of elbow grease can remove these from a sealed coloured driveway.

We are having tile put in our bathroom and the tiles were cut with a wet saw in our garage and on our sidewalk. It left a chalky haze on the cement that stayed even after power washing. How can I get it clean?

I bought a pumice scouring stick at the 99 cent store, it says it will remove paint from cement,tile & masonry . Also it says will remove rust from garden tools. Cleans: ceramic tile,porcelain,masonry,concrete & Iron. Restores tools,pools and barbeques." Unexcelled for removing," Baked on food,grease and carbon build ups in ovens grills and iron cookware.Rock- hard mineral deposits around faucets & drains,scale and rust on metal work and piping,unsightly toilet bowl rings,stubborn stains in tubs,sinks and showers ( not fiberglass) and a bunch of other stuff. This will be tested with elbow grease this weekend.;-) GG Vi

One idea may be to check out things like Goo Gone, Goof Off, or Orange clean. These may be the safest as opposed to harsher chemicals like Paint Thinner. Another idea may be to call local paint stores or even local Painters for Hire and see if they would have any suggestions. Good luck!
