In my experience spray paint is as tough as it gets.
1. Get it out as soon as possible. The first 24 hours is the best but you
probably have missed that.
2. The hardest part is dissolving it then removing it without smearing or
driving it deeper. Paint stripping poultices have worked best for me but you
still need to play with the ingredients, covered and uncovered dwell time,
etc.
3. Paint strippers alone don't work on stones like limestone.
4. Test first!
5. I would not assume that you will be able to get it out 100% without at
least ghosting residue.
Good Luck,

The big brawny English accent was overwhelming to the Mississippi
regulars Oh they knew Western; and "Yankee" ; but this wasn't either.
They rolled their eyes and guessed "Australian" as "we had a feller once
here who visited from thar" We talked and ate terra cotta; a strange
language anyway; why with the pinning and anchoring systems let alone
the matching glaze and
build -up for substrate for most folks listening you might as well be
from
the moon.
A young lad unable to restrain himself anymore; came over to our
outdoor work bench peered past the scatter of lunch plates , work
papers, and tools in progress and asked "Whatcha y"all doing"? The big
Englishman seeing the youths innocence and seizing the moment for levity
responded gravely that we made " cement boots; for swimming".
So taken by the big mans seriousness and Coldstream accent
The lads eyes got big; he thought for a moment and then replied in
reassuring afterthought ......Well I knew- y"all -weren't from -round
here" Its the weekend ;We're Delta bound with Mamma and Peanut ; the
Limey has never seen the Mississippi; and the bloom of Spring and the 70
deg temps are too much to bear not to mosey down old roads to the
..geat Antebellum enclaves of Natchez and Port Gibson( the town to
pretty to burn ...Gen Grant). .There will be a 200th anniversary of the
town; Port Gibson (Natchez is
older) with blues on every corner ; gumbo and alligator pie to sample;
and a black tie affair for the educated and if we can clean up in time
from the log rolling and pie eating contest games of chance for would
be Huck Finns and English rubes to squander their quarters on . Pyrate
