How can I use a pressure washer (and how much PSI) to remove peeling paint?

Answer by  rohitraj04yahoomailcom (72)

to remove peeling paint , put the nozzle directly on the concern area with around 500 PSI. also put the pressure consistently over it until it is removed.

To remove paint use the highest pressure (2000-2500 or greater) and narrowest nozzle(15 degree nozzle works best). Point the nozzle at the steepest angle of attack possible. Ensure that you are not damaging the underlying material as this may be disastrous. If restoring/repainting then use a lower pressure and wider nozzle at 45 degree angle of attack.
