You might try useing a pressurized water cleaner. These cleaners are hooked
to your faucet.  They pump the water up to a preassure of 700lb/sq in to 2000
lb/in (depending on the model). It has a nozzle that with a trigger. You just
point and  shoot. I have used a 1500lb/sq in to remove old stain and moss from
my fence. It also is great for cleaning moss from bricks. The 2000lb model
should have no problem removing paint. You can rent one from most any rental
store.  It should cost 50 to 60 dollars for one day. If that is to much money
find a neighbor that needs something cleaned and you can split the cost.

ps	These cleaners are great for getting rid of wasp nests. There is a
	feeling of power you get when you can wipe out a swarm of angry wasps
	single handed. Go ahead wasps, make my day.
