Removing Spray Paint on Concrete Steps?

Can anyone recommend a home remedy to remove or at least fade and make less noticeable white spray painted words on my concrete steps? They are not "bad" words, thank goodness, lol, but it does make the exterior of my home trashy-looking. I've tried bleach and Goof-Off for Graffiti. Any suggestions? I will try! Thanks.

I do not know how you would remove paint, so I would paint over it. I believe the only way to remove it properly would be with sandblasting.

You can try a chemical called Berrymans B12 carb, choke and parts cleaner it works great on overspray of vehicles! I had once used it to remove grafiti from my Dads 79 elcamino and again on my 2005 Silverado when I ran over a spray can on the road same principal but different surface for your application just spray it directly onto the painted surface and with a wire brush work it in the porous surface and be ready to wipe away the dissolved paint with an old towel or papertowels careful not to let it contact your skin or eyes though not very toxic but (by experience) in eyes will cause great discomfort until the drying effect wears off and on skin yes guilty as charged only dries your skin and makes it very cold other than that it is only flamable so again use caution not to use around any open flames or ignotion sources until evaporated!

On automotive paint or painted surfaces you will need a protectant wax to use immediately following the removal because the clear coat after using the parts cleaner will be stripped away leaving very little protection to the paint the wax will be the protective barrier that once protected the paint to start with. Worse case scenerio you have to wax your vehicle weekly or bi-weekly but hey worth saving a new paintjob cost!
