Muratic acid scrubdown. Check label. Not sure how long cement has to cure before use.
Ohhh...I've got the solution for you!!!! First remove as much paint as you can with paper towels...trying not to spread it around. Then...





GOOF OFF--The Ultimate Remover





You can buy it at any Home Depot Store (maybe Wal-Mart). It comes in a yellow can...pint, half gallon, gallon etc. It will remove anything from crayon and gum to candle wax and YES latex paint. Someone got paint on my brand new Benz and it took the Latex paint right off with out damaging the car finish.





Wait till your driveway is dry. Then apply the Goof Off with a brush or spray bottle...wait a couple minutes (you will see paint curdle) and then using a DRY scrub brush rub it off. Problem solved.





Good Luck To You!
Old terrycloth towel saturated with lacquer thinner, laid on top of the paint. Have your neighbor arrested before he does the vandalism again.
gum out carboerator will really make latex paint curl (i found out the hard way and my wife gave me a few knowledge knots for it)








scrape off us much of it as you can and spray it with gum out.





thompsons water seal is good for concrete
Steam generator w/ high pressure nozzle works well if you do not want to use chemicals.


You can apply a paste of Mex %26amp; water to the mess. to loosen it up %26amp; then use hose or pressure washer
You will need a pressure washer to remove water based paint.Oil base paint will peel off when it dries.
Maybe a really good powerwasher. I did the same thing and when I was going to get something to try to clean it up my wife drove in the driveway, rolled through it and made it 10 times worse. Good luck
