    A good powerwasher might do the trick.

    Thanks - have tried that but no joy.

    Have also just tried distilled vinegar which someone suggested - that's not having the effect either.

    White spirits and a deck brush?

    To be honest those paint spots are quite small and look inoffensive enough so I'd avoid going overboard with the scrubbing as you could make matters worse (fade the colouring of the actual concrete). You could try using one of those abrasive sanding sponges with water to lightly abrade the surface and see how that goes, but maybe try it on an inconspicuous area first (as they say).
