I was spray painting some panels on my driveway, and even though I put paper and things under them, some still went onto the driveway, guess I didn't use enough paper. I might not be the first person to do this, so was wondering if anyone had any tips of how to remove the sprayed paint from the driveway? The drive consists of red-brown colour-ish tiles.
I guess it will involve a lot of scrubbing, but what kind of cleaning products and chemicals should I use?
Thank you very much.

It's a valid point, and why I didn't want to use nitromors. Went to about three places, got some chemicals, used some acidy stuff with a wire brush, and it turned out almost too good, its very clean now, stands out from the rest!
