After I read all this, I can completely understand that you want to do it yourself, perhaps because of the money primarily but also because of the sense of satisfaction you get from doing something like this.
Still, I think I would bite the bullet and hire this done by someone that has the proper equipment and experience to do it properly with the least amount of damage to your brick and morter. But I do wish you luck. Any suggestion I had as far as a method of removal has already been covered but I will say this...I HATE "sand" blasting. Any other media would be better and although I can't comment directly, I saw a demo of the dry ice blasting and that was awesome my friend. Like I said, it's all been covered.
Oh yeah, if you find who painted this, thump a knot on their head for me too.
