paint removal from interior brick wall

Cedarhurst NY

Description

i have an indoor brick wall around a fireplace. that's painted grey. i want to remove the paint and expose the brick. the wall itself is roughly 6'x8' minus the roughly 35"x21" fireplace. there's also a ledge extending from the wall that is painted and it measures roughly 15"x10"x6'. i tried 3 different products (peel away 1, smart strip, and start stop pro) and found that peel away 1 works well for removing the paint.
