How do I clean spray piant & hi-gloss latex paint off of cement?

We pulled the carpet up in our living room to prepare for a new tile or wood floor. The builders left quite a painted mess on the cement slab. We're also considering the option of using cement paint and painting the floor rather than installing a new floor, for now.How do I clean spray piant %26amp; hi-gloss latex paint off of cement?
There's really no good way. The latex paint may come off if you scrape it. (I'd reccommend a 5-in-1 painter's tool. You can pick one up at Lowe's or Home Depot.) If you're really desperate, you could rent a powerwasher and see if that would do it. Try asking someone at the hardware store to see if they have ideas.How do I clean spray piant %26amp; hi-gloss latex paint off of cement?
Paint stripper and a wire brush, it probably won't come off to easy. If you are putting new flooring over this then why would you need to remove it? I would just leave it.
A scraper and some paint remover may help remove it but there is no easy way, hard at it scraping. depending on what you plan to instal you may need to only smooth it down.
