Had to deal with similar problem myself just recently, I tried the pressure washer route, but was not able too get rid of all the paint, so I tried the chemical solution with same results, So I started to removing the boards & flipping them on to the other side, sandind the edges of paint, Deck looks awesome with no signs of painted wood...

It's almost immpossible to do it so that 100% is gone. Also very difficult. You need chemical strippers and then sanding machines. And if youhave ballusters.... ouch! Very hard. If money isn't too much of an issue, remove the boards and have new decking and railings installed. You dont have to re-build the framing. You'll be happier.

Tried this myself! If the paint has been on for a long time, give up and replace the boards! I replaced my deck boards with composite decking and it's beautiful!

High pressure washer will clean all the paint off. Not too high or it will break the boards.

you spray it with a deck cleanser. go to your hardware store and ask them for the best kind.
